About me
Based in London, I’m a creative designer crafting compelling narratives and designing seamless, human-centered experiences across dynamic channels for leading consumer brands and technology companies. I believe design has the capability to instigate change. Throughout my experience, I have developed a design practice that focuses on collaboration with team members and clients to create vibrant and stimulating campaigns that bring innovative ideas to life.

I’m currently working towards my M.A. in Graphic Communication Design at Central Saint Martins to distill my understanding of the intersection between ideas, design, and experiences to create more impactful futures.
