About me
With over 8 years of hands-on experience as a Multidisciplinary Graphic Designer, I bring a wealth of expertise in both in-house and freelance settings, collaborating with a diverse clientele across various industries. My passion lies in crafting innovative design solutions that captivate audiences and drive results. My design approach is characterised by a bold utilisation of colour, geometric elements, and a meticulous attention to detail that ensures pixel-perfect outcomes. From branding and visual effects to packaging and print/digital media, I have consistently delivered creative solutions that leave a lasting impression. In addition to my design career, I recently achieved a significant milestone by producing and directing my first feature-length documentary, delving into my family's ancestry. This project served as a culmination of my creative talents, allowing me to seamlessly integrate my skills as a designer into the realms of storytelling and visual communication. Moreover, my dedication to continuous learning led me to undertake an intensive UI Design course with a focus on Figma, where I honed my skills in creating dynamic, launch-ready prototypes and integrating UI design principles into my creative process. My expertise extends to implementing design systems, organising taxonomy, and leveraging advanced features such as auto-layout, constraints, variants, and components. As an exceptional leader, I foster collaboration and promote a clear understanding among team members to achieve shared objectives. My commitment to excellence is unwavering, and I am dedicated to staying abreast of the latest design trends and technologies to deliver cutting-edge solutions that surpass client expectations. I am eager to bring my unique blend of creativity, technical skill, leadership, and storytelling prowess to a dynamic team, where I can contribute to meaningful projects and drive impactful results.

    Olympic Design ChallengeIn a response to the postponement of the 2020 Olympic Games, Logo Inspirations set a challenge for its followers to reimagine a new Olympic Logo based in their own city.
