With two decades of experience in various forms of design, from eye-catching products to feature-rich e-commerce websites, designing memorable logos and creating comprehensive brand guidelines. I’m a multidisciplinary skilled individual, continuously curious with a learning mindset and setting design standards high. With a keen eye for directing design and aesthetics, I also enjoy contributing and producing on theme, product and digital design projects from concept to shelf. I’m big on pixel perfection, unforgettable design and working collaboratively towards a shared goal.
