Designer of spaces—built and digital—with a background in architecture, graphic design, and spatial experiences. I create environments that connect people, spark imagination, and shape meaningful experiences across physical and digital realms.

My work spans graphic design, architecture, spatial planning, and web design, with each project tailored to context and conversation. I’m always open to exploring new directions—feel free to reach out to discuss ideas further by email.
