Career highlights
I’ve been in the industry for nine years, building ideas that sit somewhere between culture, design, and real life. I originally wanted to study fine arts, but I chose graphic design because I wanted creativity to actually do something. Since then, I’ve worked across regional and global brands, leading campaigns and platforms rooted in local insight. I’m obsessed with details, allergic to safe work, and constantly chasing ideas that are simple, sharp, and culturally true. For me, design isn’t just about how it looks. It’s about shaping ideas that people recognize themselves in.
Guiding principles
Ideas should be simple enough to explain in one sentence and strong enough to live everywhere. I believe in craft as much as concept and in building teams where curiosity, honesty, and ownership drive the work forward.
Side hustle
During Covid, I started a small cross-stitch embroidery business focused on turning pixel art into stitched pieces. I was drawn to translating digital grids into something physical and handmade. It became a way to reconnect with craft, patience, and process in a world that felt entirely online.
