About

I’m a Senior Designer who thrives at the intersection of brand strategy, visual storytelling and user experience. I lead creative projects from conceptual research to polished execution. Beyond that, I’m driven by mentorship, collaboration, and the pursuit of raising the creative bar through mindfulness. I excel at translating dense information into accessible visual formats. My experience facilitating workshops and leading discussions with diverse participant groups has sharpened my ability to present complex topics with clarity and accessibility. I am passionate about creating illustrations, visual art, and lettering.
