About 02

Graphic design with production discipline and an illustrator’s eye.

I think commercially.
I present aesthetically.

I’m a graphic designer with 3+ years of hands-on design experience. I work across identity, packaging, e-commerce and illustration, and I’m used to taking a project from concept to final production.

I care about strong ideas, clear visual systems and the technical details that keep good design intact at the finish line. My toolkit spans print and prepress, digital layouts, AI-assisted production and lightweight automation when it genuinely saves time.
