I’m a visuals-focused designer with 4 years in the field, including 1 year in the industry and 3 in freelancing. I’ve partnered with brands like Toy Kingdom, Disney Store, Baby Company, and Pet Express to craft social media content, motion graphics, and event visuals that tell compelling stories. I value collaboration and storytelling in every project. I also draw on a 15-year practice in Kyokushin Karate, which has instilled a patient, disciplined, and quality-driven approach that helps me stay focused through complex creative challenges. My “black belt” mindset translates into consistent, reliable execution and a commitment to delivering polished results. I thrive in team settings, love learning from others, and aim to elevate brand narratives through thoughtful design and visual storytelling.
