Human first, designer second. 4/6 emotional Manifesting Generator in Human Design and an introvert soul. I love sunny days, pancakes with maple syrup, walking bare feet, road trips, quiet adventures in far flung places, Polaroids, the homely aroma of steamed rice, and conversations with dear friends over good food. I love creating beautiful things - on and off the screen ❤️
I'm a graphic + web designer who's passionate about layout design - layout design is essentially arranging blocks/lines of text and images (what you see in magazines, books, marketing materials, packaging, websites) to create a piece of artwork that communicates your message. I love how expressive and versatile layout design is as a tool, and when used purposefully and skillfully, you can create experiences in your materials and/or website to engage with the people who are your dream customers, make them *feel* something, and connect with them - human to human.
To me, design is about storytelling. On a soul level, we are made of stories. There’s no doubt about that - this I know.
Stories gives us an experience.
Stories make us feel something.
Stories connects us and build relationships and communities.
Stories are reminders that we are humans.
We love stories because we are innately wired for connections ✨
In a previous life, I spent almost 20 years in corporate (mostly in not-for-profit, a short stint in education, and my last corporate job was with the BBC) - I organised events and was an Executive Assistant to senior management for the majority of those years.

When crafting the branding, I kept in mind t
