MY STORY

As an in-house designer, I gained a deep understanding of brands from the inside, enabling me to grasp the drivers behind business decisions and strategies. In an agency setting, I explored diverse approaches to problem-solving and developed creative design solutions. Meanwhile, as a startup designer, I had the unique opportunity to influence business decisions across various stakeholders, utilising design thinking to shape outcomes.

​

BELIEFS

Thoughout my career, I have explored different paths, conlcuding that design is more than using software and technicalities such as coding or the printing process. Design is a way of thinking, problem-solving, and making the world a better place. I believe is important having diversified knowledge and skills, collaborate across disciplines, and be socially responsible. 

​

MY CREATIVE SIDE

I also have a visual arts practice. It took me some time to understand and separate design from art even though they intersect. I like observing art and creating my own: paintings, mixed-media and sculpture. I enjoy and need to express myself creatively, exploring and feeling through my projects. By doing so, I stay alive and remind myself who am I.
