About Me
What shaped my creative journey was the first time I saw Salvador Dalí's work. I was captivated by the freedom of his imagination and intrigued by the way his ideas bent and collided, breaking all the usual rules. It made me realize that creativity could be limitless, playful, unexpected, and full of possibility. That sense of wonder stayed with me and eventually led me into the world of design.
In design, I discovered a space where I could help bring other people's visions to life. It wasn't about creating art for its own sake, it was more like solving a puzzle, where each person and project presented a challenge that required a thoughtful, creative solution. Over time, I realized my role was less about dictating outcomes and more about shaping ideas into reality.
My Creative Approach
I approach each project with curiosity, empathy, and a focus on solving real problems. At the heart of my work are the core principles of good design: clarity, hierarchy, consistency, balance, and accessibility. These guide every decision I make, whether it's crafting a visual hierarchy, refining an interaction, or shaping an entire user journey.
My UX/UI process is rooted in understanding first. I start by researching the audience, goals, and context, immersing myself in the problem before sketching or prototyping solutions. From there, I explore multiple ideas, test interactions, and refine layouts until the experience feels intuitive and seamless. Visual storytelling, illustration, and photography layer on top of this foundation, giving each project personality, purpose, and impact. Iteration and feedback are constant companions, I see each project as a journey, not a destination, where learning and refining are as important as the final outcome.
My Skills
As a digital artist, I bring ideas to life both on traditional mediums and through modern tools like Procreate on my iPad or a Wacom tablet. Whether sketching characters, creating visual narratives, or crafting interfaces, I enjoy combining technique, experimentation, and technology to produce work that's thoughtful, polished, and dynamic.
I work across UX/UI design, illustration, and photography, adapting fluidly to whatever tools or technologies a project requires. I'm always excited to explore new software, platforms, or methods that help streamline the creative process and improve delivery times, without ever compromising the quality or integrity of the work.
A Few Things About Me

- Spending time with friends and family keeps me grounded and sparks fresh ideas.
