⦿ Manhattan, New York



I’ve been immersed in art and design in my own way since childhood—building contraptions out of cardboard and sketching jetpack concepts (launch date: 2030). In high school, I started selling custom stickers and hand-painted surfboards, finding my real interest in illustration and design.

Now based in NYC, a city filled with great design, I find constant inspiration in the city. Watching how people interact with design keeps me curious and makes me think critically about visuals and functionality.

While I’ve worked in graphic design, UX and product design have become my main focus. I’m passionate about finding new ways to engage users and present information creatively and intuitively. Looking ahead, I plan to explore creative coding—an area that intrigues me and one I’m excited to be a part of.
