Currently studying Expanded Practice at Goldsmiths, I have built a solid foundation in packaging, branding, and graphic design through a variety of personal projects. I believe that design is more than decoration—it is a tool for communicating a brand’s core values and story. Drawing on my experience mentoring fellow designers, I bring strong collaboration skills and a dedication to delivering high-quality, impactful work. I am eager to apply my creativity and technical skills to both digital and print projects.
