I craft dignified brand identities that help visionary founders connect with their audience. A mix of strategy, design, and ritual-focused brand work defines my approach. I started designing when I was 16, and I love the process of imagining ideas and bringing them to life through design. With a solid background in printing and graphic design technology, plus practical teaching and freelancing experience, I bring a well-rounded toolkit to deliver innovative visual solutions. I've led identity design for 8+ startups, built a repeatable brand strategy framework used across projects, and expanded my skills to Web Development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). I'm also certified in data annotation for machine learning and enjoy applying NLP tagging to improve products.
