Brand and experience leader at OfficeBanao, shaping its brand strategy and unified content system.

At OfficeBanao, I own brand strategy and content across web, social, collateral, and executive channels. I’ve established a centralized editorial system, directed brand creative from concept through post-production, and introduced AI-assisted workflows into content production.

My work has also spanned design education, workplace concepts, and interior architecture. At The Designer’s Class, I led content strategy and design direction, taught interior design, and developed curriculum; earlier, I translated client brand guidelines into workplace concepts at Cherry Hill Interiors and delivered cultural and hospitality projects at TVS Design.
