About · Visual designer, UX/UI, multimedia

Design systems meet
human perception.

I shape visual narratives across screen, motion and media — the point where a design system stops being a spec and starts being something people feel.

Seven years of client work sits behind that: e-commerce platforms, portfolio sites and custom interface systems, built in WordPress and designed in Figma. I work in components and tokens rather than one-off screens, and I bring AI into production where it genuinely saves time — video, ad creative, imagery — not as a novelty.

Right now I handle creative direction and digital production at Scale Army, remotely, alongside my own multimedia projects.
