I'm a passionate and creative graphic designer with a strong love for visual storytelling. Whether I’m sketching traditionally or digitally on my iPad, I’m always exploring new ideas through illustration, typography, and design. Much of my inspiration comes from nature, music, and film—especially horror—and I often blend dreamlike imagery with real-world elements in my work. I enjoy redesigning existing brands and imagining new creative directions for them. I thrive both independently and as part of a team, and I'm eager to collaborate with clients or brands to bring bold, imaginative ideas to life. Design isn’t just a career for me; it’s what I love most.
