I’m a visual designer from New York, now based in the Netherlands. It’s a long way from the city that never sleeps, but I think that mix of chaos and calm found its way into how I design. These days, I work across web design, branding, and digital visuals — basically anything that helps a brand look and feel like itself. I care about the small details: how things flow, how they sound, and how they come together to feel intentional rather than improvised. Five years in, I’ve learned that good design lives somewhere between logic and emotion. It makes things easier to use, easier to understand, and even easier to remember. That’s the kind of work that drives me.

Industry Experience

    uniE621 LifeLyric Medical
    A medical website that cares and feels like home. LifeLyric is a concept site that was an exploration into designing for healthcare with warmth in mind. To avoid the sterile and distant feel that can often appear in this space, I softened the palette with muted blues and light greens. The intention was to create an atmosphere that felt calm, trustworthy, and approachable. Photography carried equal weight. Choosing images where people are naturally interacting, instead of posed, staged moments, gave the design a human touch. Together, the color choices and imagery shape a professional site that still feels compassionate and grounded.
    uniE621 360 Degree Architecture
    A concept site built on grids, texture, and the rhythm of architecture itself. 360Degree Architecture was designed as a concept site whilst working with a WordPress Agency. The approach started with a strong grid, giving the design a dependable framework. From there, I introduced subtle textures that echoed building materials, adding depth without overpowering the imagery. This balance of structure and detail allowed large visuals, mission statements, and team profiles to feel grounded and dynamic. The goal was to design a site that carries a rhythm that mirrors the architecture it represents: stable, textured, and thoughtfully composed.
    uniE621 Overtura - Framer Template
    Overtura is a Framer template designed for creative conferences. The inspiration came from places that already feel like an experience, such as museum exhibits, old master paintings, and even the atmosphere of classical music. I wanted to capture that timeless energy and bring it into a digital format. The hero became the centerpiece. Playing with contrasts in typography while giving space to an artwork gave the page its sense of presence. Around it, the more functional pieces — schedules, speakers, ticket details — were arranged with a similar balance of clarity and rhythm. The ultimate goal was a template that feels both practical and elevated.
