Profile

A designer progressing toward strategic and creative leadership.

My background is in visual communication, identity design, editorial systems, motion, and digital product interfaces. That foundation now supports a broader practice: diagnosing brand problems, structuring qualitative evidence, framing strategic tensions, and directing design work after key decisions are made.

My strongest advantage is the combination of design literacy, business reasoning, and advanced use of AI for research synthesis, documentation, workflow design, and rapid prototyping. I am most effective in roles that connect management, research, design, and technical teams.
