I am a multidisciplinary designer and creative maker based in London, UK.
I believe in the power of simplicity and utilising design for the common good. I am interested in taking part in the growth of the creative economy and joining projects that support creative entrepreneurship and artist empowerment.
I have experience in service design, brand strategy, content design, photography, creative thinking, and video production.

Projects
- LUDICUSVideo Directed & Produced | Graphic Design | Photography ________________________ Lúdicus is scenically installed inside the fantastic pairing between magic and clown. With a rich aesthetic sense through elements of mime, live music, object manipulation and illusion, these artists disclose their irreverent world. The play includes two clowns doing magic, creating funny situations that are emotional and visually striking.
