About me
Graphic design first, with a growing focus on UI/UX.
I’m a graphic designer with six years of experience creating digital content, brand identities, and promotional graphics. I’m passionate about my work, especially projects connected to sports and gaming, where visual storytelling can bring audiences closer to the experiences they love. As I grow into UI/UX, I’m focused on making those experiences clear, engaging, and intuitive.
