What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can design accessible, age-appropriate, user-centered visuals for educational or content-driven products. I want to collaborate cross-functionally, iterate from feedback, and add a motion-oriented approach when it improves clarity.

I’m a UI/UX and graphic designer with a background in journalism and audiovisual communication, specializing in visual storytelling. I turn content and information into clear, engaging, user-centered experiences across branding, editorial, illustration, and digital design.

Currently, I work as a Creative Designer (Multidisciplinary) at Activum, designing branding, illustration, social content, campaigns, and web experiences for multiple brands. I led the Kroma brand identity and website end-to-end—logo, visual system, and UI—using user-centered design and layout principles from concept to delivery.

I also bring motion- and content-first experience from co-hosting and producing a weekly Twitch show, plus audiovisual support work in production. I love collaborating with cross-functional teams, iterating from feedback under tight deadlines, and creating intuitive, age-appropriate, accessible visuals—especially for educational content.
