Brand designer who builds systems, not just assets. I’ve owned full brand evolutions at SaaS companies — from strategy and identity through to web, motion, and campaign. I use AI tools daily not to shortcut craft, but to shorten the gap between idea and output and spend more time on the work that actually needs a human. I care about the details that most people don’t notice, and the strategy that makes those details matter.
