About
I am an Interactive Media Designer passionate about visual communication. I create clear, engaging content tailored to each audience, specializing in explainer videos, static and animated infographics, and digital formats. I enjoy simplifying complex topics and combining content creation with digital marketing strategies across multiple platforms. Over the years, I’ve worked on diverse projects from branding to interactive infographics, collaborating closely with journalists, editors, and creative teams. When I’m not designing, I enjoy stand-up comedy and improv, which help me step out of my comfort zone, improve my public speaking, and sharpen my sense of humor.
I also have a love for films and board games, making me quite the movie trivia champion. My practical skills and creative mindset make me a versatile designer ready to bring visual storytelling to life in engaging and accessible ways.
