I'm a curious mix of designer, marketer, and ex-architect, someone who sees structure in creativity and creativity in structure. For the past 7 years, I've been bringing ideas to life through smart visuals and storytelling that make people feel something (and sometimes laugh, too). Before diving into marketing and design, I spent years managing real construction sites and collaborating with world-renowned firms like Zaha Hadid Architects and Erick van Egeraat at Cushman & Wakefield. That experience taught me how to balance beauty with precision and how to stay calm when things get messy—skills that help in marketing. Now I design and strategize with the same mindset: minimal but bold, detailed but clear. My goal is to create visuals and campaigns that connect with real people, because if it doesn't make sense to humans, it doesn't make sense at all.
