my cAREER journey

Blending CREATIVE INSIGHTS WITH CORPORATE STRATEGY TO ACHIEVE CLIENT GOALS

Background

I’m a designer and creative director with 8 years of experience turning ideas into real-world solutions. From UX design to video production, I love working with businesses to problem solve & bring concepts to life. Since age 17, I 've worked for agencies on projects across nearly all sectors - Now, at 25, I’ve decided to go freelance to apply what I’ve learned directly to clients. Whether leading a team or diving into the details, my goal is always  to make new connections, grow my skillset & take on exciting projects.
