Multidisciplinary Designer in London, she/her

About

With a strong background in digital and graphic communication design and extensive hands-on professional experience for 11 years, I bring a comprehensive and consistent strategy to building brands.

My passion for being a designer is visualising perspectives with a critical edge that can make people consider things differently. Therefore, I believe that branding needs to consider how it communicates its philosophy, not only its marketing strategy.
