About

Illustrator | Brand Designer | Visual Storyteller I design for brands that want to mean something. Over 5 years, I've worked across brand identity, campaigns, illustration, and growth design. I've built brands from scratch, led visual relaunches, and driven measurable organic growth as a founding designer. My work sits at the intersection of strategy and craft. I don't just make things look good. I make sure they say the right thing, to the right people, in a way that sticks. I currently work as an independent design consultant, partnering with founders and brands across B2B and D2C to build work that lasts beyond the brief. Outside of work, I love sharing what I've learned and connecting with people who care about design as much as I do. If that sounds like you, let's talk.
