What I'm looking for

I seek creative roles that blend illustration, branding and digital design at client-focused companies valuing visual storytelling, autonomy and growth.

From logos and packaging to complete brand systems, I seek to partner with small businesses, entrepreneurs, and creative clients to bring their vision to life using color palettes, typography selections, and brand guidelines tailored to each client's goals.

I can design custom illustrations for product branding—such as soda labels and confectionery packaging—enhancing visual appeal and brand narrative .

I am proficient in Affinity Designer, Adobe Illustrator, and Affinity Publisher. I offer a streamlined branding process that starts with discovery, progresses through concept development, and ends with a complete identity kit
