I’m a multidisciplinary designer and communicator with experience in illustration, UX design, character design, branding, and packaging. I enjoy transforming ideas into visuals that feel intuitive, human, and emotionally resonant. Alongside my digital work, I explore a wide range of creative practices including sculpting, needle felting, crochet, watercolor, upcycling, baking, and writing. Working across different mediums helps me think more playfully about form, texture, and storytelling, which I bring into my design projects to create concepts that are approachable, meaningful, and visually engaging.
