visual designer

about me.

Creativity has always been a part of me. My father was a landscape architect and swimming pool designer, while my twin is a successful interior and exterior designer.

I found my path to visual design during high school when I took an elective in design and a representative spoke about various design schools. It solidified my decision to become a visual designer. I have a natural curiosity for solving complex problems through art, whether it’s print, digital, or sketching. From landing my first design job to today, I’ve gained knowledge and insights ranging from problem-solving to interpersonal skills, collaboration, team-building, coaching, and mentoring.

To thrive in this industry, one must adapt well, be curious and optimistic, and be open to feedback.
