designer.
problem solver.
curious creator.

I’m a dedicated designer with a passion for solving problems both visually and technically. Whether it’s crafting a compelling logo or building a cohesive website, I thrive on challenges that blend creativity with precision. To me, design is not only about aesthetics; it’s about using the body senses to help people navigate sets of information.

Early in my career, I had the privilege of working at a design agency where I learned the value of high standards and collaborative creativity. Being surrounded by designers who shared my enthusiasm for compelling design shaped how I approach briefs today. It taught me to contribute work that is not only clear but also meaningful to the team and the end user.

I believe great design holds your hand and walks you through a story. It’s intuitive, thoughtful, and emotionally resonant. My approach is rooted in clarity and cohesion—whether I’m creating a visually artistic layout or engineering a seamless user experience.

My curiosity has led me to explore multiple disciplines within design. Studying Multimedia Design was a natural fit—it opened doors to web design, animation, 3D modeling, and video editing. Wherever possible, I enjoy diving deep into the technical aspects of these various disciplines, also constantly keeping up with the ever changing technologies and discoveries of design.

I’m a tinkerer by nature. Distro hopping and experimenting with UI solutions has been my guilty pleasures (Fedora is my current favorite). I believe software should be accessible and inclusive, which is why I’m drawn to projects that champion free and open-source tools. Empowering everyday users through thoughtful design and technology is a mission I deeply resonate with and hope to contribute to this in any shape or form.

collaboration
I deeply value collaboration—especially with designers and artists who share a passion for multimedia. Working alongside others not only fuels creativity but also fosters the exchange of ideas and techniques. I believe in the power of shared knowledge and am always eager to learn new approaches while offering insights of my own.
learning
For me, design is a living discipline, sustained by both mentorship and curiosity. Supporting those who came before helps preserve the spirit of the craft, while engaging with fresh, unfiltered perspectives often leads to the most meaningful growth. I find that true learning happens in the space between experience and open-minded exploration.

Deserves it (death)? I dare say he does, many that live deserve death, and some that die deserve life, can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death and judgement, for even the very wise cannot see all ends
