About me
A multi-disciplinary designer based in London with a focus on branding and print design, image making and art direction. Versatile and ever-evolving, I approach each brief with a clear understanding of the creative process and aim to design engaging work that’s both functional and beautifully crafted. Open to new challenges, I believe different territories of work open new worlds of potential progress for both the client, collaborators and my role as a designer.
