About
As a Designer and a Corporate Brand Lead, I specialize in bridging the gap between brand identity and product usability. I partner directly with clients to suggest, iterate, and execute designs that prioritize the user without losing sight of the business goal.
Backed by a degree in Computer Science and a passion for inclusive design, I leverage technical expertise and AI-driven workflows to create accessible digital experiences. Take a look at my work to see how I integrate strategy, technology, and art.
