1. I’ve worked across fashion, beauty, eyewear, food & beverage, pet genetics, tattoos, home goods, and art projects.
Which either means I’m versatile or easily intrigued. Possibly both.
2. I proudly don’t have one signature style.
What I do have is a point of view: thoughtful design, clear hierarchy, emotional nuance, and visual decisions that serve the brand instead of my ego.So my work adapts to the product, audience, and context. Because a coffee brand, a $500 leather bag, and a genetic test for cats probably shouldn’t all look like they came from the same moodboard.
3. I once built an educational project for 2,000+ people around the world centered on photography, visual culture, and the practice of noticing beauty.
So yes, I take aesthetics, details, and visual sensitivity very seriously.Latest awards:

In addition to being a passionate graphic designer & art director, I love creating art with cement, teaching visual art to adults, and exploring the world through photography.
