Available to hire
For just over a decade, I’ve built a career as a continuous learning curve—maximising every hour to stop, rewind, analyse, and master new techniques. I’ve always focused on critical thinking and independent learning as the most valuable foundations I could develop.
Using that foundation, I’ve grown into a multidisciplinary designer proficient across graphic design, 3D modelling, rendering, animation, motion graphics, and web/UX design. I lead and manage end-to-end projects—often acting as creative lead across multiple teams—balancing creative direction with strict budgets and deadlines, from concept through to delivery.
