Welcome …

I’m excited to share my journey with you.

Over many years I’ve worked on a variety of creative projects that have shaped who I am today.

From case competitions & brand collaborations to assignments & personal projects, each endeavor represents a unique challenge & learning experience.

My early love for marketing and artistic work has naturally led me to the world of data visualization and UX/UI design.

I hope you enjoy exploring my work as much as I enjoyed creating it.
