About

Hi, I’m a multidisciplinary designer with a foundation in architecture and urban design. I enjoy blending rigorous planning with expressive visuals to shape spaces, experiences, and brand narratives. I thrive in collaborative, interdisciplinary settings and love turning complex ideas into clear, engaging design concepts.

Since 2010 I’ve freelanced as an artist and designer, creating portraits, murals, interior styling, and custom artwork while collaborating with cross-disciplinary teams to develop cohesive design stories and engaging client experiences.
