Throughout my academic and professional journey, I've consistently demonstrated a proactive approach to my work. I eagerly adapt to the demands of each role, whether it's creating social or out-of-home campaigns, designing websites, developing brand identities, or contributing to brainstorming sessions. I’m driven by the endless possibilities that creative work offers.
My method is grounded in thorough research and careful analysis of project strategies, laying the foundation for innovative and impactful solutions that consistently meet client goals.
As part of my design journey, I've also engaged in nonprofit and volunteer work, including rebranding a local community center, co-founding a grassroots organization to connect student designers with small businesses, and freelancing to help individuals and companies refine their visual identities. Currently, I work with Humber College to review the portfolios of students graduating from the Graphic Design program.
In addition to my professional pursuits, I find fulfillment in various handicrafts, including drawing, bookbinding, sewing, crochet, and painting. I also enjoy outdoor excursions and immersing myself in nature.
