I'm a concept-driven graphic designer and illustrator skilled in branding + editorial with a heavy focus on research, illustration and minimalist thinking. My aesthetic approach often involves distinct sense of play, aiming to put the fun in functional. Strategically, my work aims to elevate brand offerings by distilling core messaging down to its clearest and freshest visual form.​
