About

I’m a visual designer who helps startups and small businesses craft unforgettable brand experiences. With over 10 years of experience in brand identity, digital design, and creative strategy, I’ve brought to life everything from minimalist logos to full-scale web designs and campaign visuals.

Whether it’s a clean UI or a bold brand system, I bring clarity, consistency, and creativity to every project.

Tools of choice: Figma, Adobe Suite, any project management tool, and whatever makes the pixels align.

I’m currently exploring new full-time and freelance opportunities. Let’s connect!
