Hello! I’m a graphic designer with a hands-on approach, a strong work ethic, and over a decade of experience thriving in fast-paced environments. After building my career in hospitality, from entry-level to management, I followed my passion and returned to university to study Graphic Design in 2022. My creative practice blends digital and physical techniques, spanning branding, publication design, motion graphics, and typography. I have a keen eye for illustration and motion design, and I love collaborating with other creatives to develop ideas, share inspiration, and continuously expand my knowledge. I’m drawn to bold ideas, thoughtful craft, and projects that make an impact—whether in print, on screen, or in public spaces.
