PROJECTS
UX / UI DESIGN
Research, Design & Testing
At the heart of my creative process lies a holistic approach that encompasses the three pivotal phases of UX and UI design: research, design, and testing. Through methodical user research, I gain deep insights into user needs and behaviors, which, in turn, guide the development of visually captivating and user-centric UI designs. The final phase, characterized by meticulous testing, fine-tunes the design, guaranteeing a seamless and delightful user experience. The seamless fusion of UX and UI throughout my process yields products that not only have a visual appeal but also solve user problems.
GRAPHIC DESIGN
Branding, Motion design & Illustration
A diverse range of projects, reflecting my expertise in graphic design, typography, logo creation, web page design, illustrations, and booklet layout. I approach each project with a meticulous process, starting with in-depth research to understand the brand's essence. This informs the development of compelling logos, captivating typography, and visually stunning web pages. Through these elements, I deliver holistic branding solutions that make a lasting impact on both digital and print platforms.
PACKAGE DESIGN
Branding & Illustrations
A collection of projects that showcases my meticulous attention to detail. When designing, my initial step involves discovering what inspires their project, providing a solid groundwork for my work. I curate a mood board to channel these inspirations before delving into traditional sketching methods. Finally, I present my clients with technically detailed sketches that are universally comprehensible and suitable for production.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Portraits, Martial Arts, Real Estate & Food
Photography has been a passion of mine since my teenage years. I'm drawn to the notion of directing focus towards a subject and employing diverse techniques, like playing with lighting and perspective, to evoke specific emotions. Throughout the years, I've utilized my skills to serve my friends, family, and individuals within my local community and around the world.

About me
Born in the vibrant city of New York and raised in London, my journey into the world of design began with a simple pencil and paper. Drawing became more than just a hobby; it was a medium through which I could express myself freely and without constraints. As my passion for creativity deepened, I found solace behind the lens of a camera, shifting my focus from self-expression to capturing the beauty of people and nature. Among the myriad of cinematic treasures, "The Pursuit of Happyness" holds a special place in my heart, resonating with its powerful narrative of resilience and determination. Inspired by the wisdom of Mother Teresa, I firmly believe that "peace begins with a smile," a sentiment that guides my daily interactions and endeavors.
