In recent months, I’ve worked on short-term roles involving the visualization of complex information through storytelling, analysis and pattern recognition. These experiences deepened my interest in interdisciplinary design and sparked a growing focus on visual synthesis, systems thinking, and insight-driven work.

Designed homeware products, handmade packaging, and crafted all visual assets, from product design to photography and storytelling. Built and maintained the Squarespace site, blog content, and Pinterest/Instagram content strategy. The project was a creative exploration in conscious, values-led living.

Created storyboards, illustrations, and animations for branded content and multimedia campaigns. Designed custom visual assets and contributed to the development of visual storytelling strategies.

Developed visual content for brand campaigns and social media, integrating illustration, motion design, and content strategy to boost engagement. Designed across multiple formats—static, animated, and digital—to support cohesive storytelling and build brand identity.
