BFA / MFA

Direction & Design


My journey started as a motion graphics designer, where I developed a passion for bringing ideas to life through animation and design. As my experience grew, so did my role—expanding from creating individual pieces to leading creative teams and shaping brand narratives as a Creative Director. I still approach every project with the curiosity and craft of a designer, now paired with the strategic perspective needed to guide ideas from concept to execution.
