🙋🏻‍♂️ About me

Engaged with meaningful design, I thrive on exciting, substantial, and creative work. With a diverse background spanning fashion, advertising, digital agency, and product design, I understand design as a problem-solving process.
 
As a design generalist driving growth-led design, I believe in a holistic approach to learning, exploring disciplines from art to psychology to philosophy. As a design generalist, I have gained invaluable experience in startups, digital advertising, and product design.
