About

Hey 🌸

I'm an independent designer with a focus on UI/UX, brand, and art direction.

With over 8 years in design, I've worked with design agencies, startups, and cross-functional product teams, playing an integral role in end-to-end project development and leading design projects from start to finish.

I'm a firm believer that good design matters and good design sells better. That's why I focus on creating standout visual yet functional design, tailored to each project's unique needs.

Available for freelance work, part-time gigs, and collaborations.
