Summary

Creative strategist and multidisciplinary artist with a sharp eye for design and a deep understanding of space, material, and emotion. Over the last four years, I've built a career that blends visual storytelling, functional aesthetics, and systems thinking—whether through independent exhibitions, operational leadership, or brand development. I bring a grounded, intuitive approach to everything I do, with a commitment to clarity, innovation, and impact. Equally at home with hands-on execution and high-level strategy, I thrive in environments where creativity and structure meet.
