The Creative Mind behind the Designs

A bit about

myself

menu icon

I turn bold ideas into meaningful experiences through the creation of standout branding, websites, apps, and advertising projects combining a contemporary aesthetic with a personal touch .

My work

I bring a special mix of creativity and innovation to my designs, keeping up with the latest trends while adding my personal touch to each project. I create designs that not only look great but also effectively communicate a brand's message.

Whether it's branding, websites, apps, or advertising campaigns, I give each project a modern and stylish flair, making sure they catch attention and leave a lasting impact. My organised approach and willingness to share my expertise make me a valuable team member and a supportive mentor to my colleagues.

Get to know me

When I'm not designing, I love reading sci-fi literature, especially the classics, and enjoy exploring the genre through both books, series, movies and video games that allow me to discover new realities. I love traveling to new destinations and meeting new people and cultures. I also have a keen interest in technology and enjoy keeping up with the latest advancements and developments in the field.

Whether I'm exploring new virtual realms, experiencing different cultures, or spending time with friends, I am always seeking new and exciting ways to feed my passions and bring my creativity to life.

Random things i like

  • Wearing my rounded glasses even though squarish ones are trendy right now
  • All things dino related. Specially explaining to kids that modern day birds are actually considered dinosaurs
  • Making tote bags and t-shirts for my friends and family
  • Stupid intelligent humour
  • Talking with experts in areas I have no idea about so I can discover new things
  • The versatility of breakfasts - how everything can be part of this meal, whether is the same thing everyday for years or to change everyday
  • Creating sci-fi micro stories of alter-egos of myself using AI tools like Midjourney.
