I am a fashion and textile designer with a passion for pixel art and graphic storytelling across textiles, prints, and licensing. I lead full-cycle design projects and enjoy translating art into production-ready visuals for global brands. I collaborate with startups and well-known brands— from Mattel and Hasbro to Tesla, Google, Volkswagen, SpaceX, and YouTube—helping teams define visual language, build lookbooks, and guide creative direction. My work blends traditional craft with digital techniques, spanning jacquards, embroideries, prints, and screen printing, while keeping a friendly, collaborative approach.
