What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to create socially impactful designs while working with diverse teams that value inclusivity and cultural sensitivity.

I am a visual designer with a strong background in branding, editorial, and digital design. My research-led practice delves into identity and community, utilizing participatory methods to create impactful designs. I thrive in environments that prioritize purpose, inclusivity, and cultural sensitivity, and I am eager to collaborate with like-minded teams.

Throughout my career, I have successfully contributed to various projects, including designing motion graphics for Chillosophy and creating bespoke poetry books for independent clients. My work has not only enhanced brand identities but also resulted in measurable increases in engagement and sales. I am committed to using my skills to foster meaningful connections through design.
