A little about me
I am a creative and collaborative Designer and Art Director with almost a decade of experience in developing engaging brands that bring content and experiences to life. My years of working in diverse environments – including agency, in-house, and freelance – have helped me become a resilient, communicative, and driven member of a team. I thrive in environments where I can collaborate with other creative individuals to develop innovative concepts and beautiful design execution.
