My passion for design began in childhood, driven by a deep interest in improving the world in creative and meaningful ways. I started exploring graphic design at a young age and, within just 1.5 years, landed my first client—a small project that felt monumental at the time. Since then, I've gained valuable experience working with diverse companies and startups, continuously refining my skills and growing as a designer every day.
While I have extensive experience in brand identity, I discovered a tremendous potential in UX/UI design two years ago. I see a strong connection between these two disciplines—both focus on creating meaningful, user-centered experiences. Brand identity establishes a company's voice and image, while UX/UI brings that identity to life through interactive and functional design. By combining my expertise in brand identity with UX/UI, I can create cohesive, impactful experiences that truly resonate with users.
