About
As a visual designer, I use my experience to support brands of all sizes in telling their stories through timeless designs with strategic thinking. My design philosophy is about continuity, resilience, and simplicity, resulting in elegant and sophisticated works aimed to stand the test of time. I approach my projects empathetically and focus on understanding the needs and emotions of the people I am designing for, aiming to create clear & impactful solutions.

When not in front of my computer, my interests include researching new technologies, creating new recipes, and traveling.
