    paper Me In A Flesh
    My portfolio reflects a blend of storytelling, visual strategy, and human-centered design where every project aims to create something not only beautiful but meaningful. VIN Wine Label A branding and packaging design that merges elegance and tactile storytelling. Through foil stamping, minimal typography, and texture, the design invites users to see and feel sophistication — transforming a product into an experience. PUBG Mobile Skin – CyberSally A character and concept design exploring futuristic fashion, empowerment, and inclusivity in gaming. CyberSally combines cyberpunk aesthetics with cultural diversity, proving that digital design can champion representation while maintaining strong visual appeal. ABSA Hackathon – UX Design for Tax Feature A user experience project focused on simplifying financial interactions. By designing a personalized tax interface within the ABSA app, I aimed to reduce user anxiety and build trust through clarity, accessibility, and thoughtful interaction design. Artivism Campaign – Anxiety Awareness for Students A purpose-driven mental health awareness campaign that engages the five senses — sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste — to create safe spaces for emotional connection. The campaign uses soft colour palettes, sensory experiences, and empathetic visuals to normalize conversations around anxiety. Across every project, my approach stays consistent: design that feels. I create work that informs, empowers, and resonates blending aesthetics with empathy to shape experiences that last beyond the first glance.
