Building Brands
with
Intention

I’m a Brand Designer focused on creating clear, premium, and long-lasting brand identities. I work with founders and growing brands that care about quality, detail, and how their brand is perceived over time. My work combines strategy, visual systems, and execution to build brands that feel confident, consistent, and purposeful.

Experience across
Brand Systems

Over the years, I’ve worked across branding, visual identity, packaging, and motion design, collaborating with both established brands and growing businesses. This experience allows me to adapt to different industries while staying focused on clarity, consistency, and long-term brand value rather than short-lived trends.

Principles that Guide My Work

I believe design should be minimal yet striking. While simplicity is often mistaken for taking the easy way out, creating work that feels both simple and impactful is one of the hardest challenges in design. I avoid unnecessary complexity and don’t chase perfection for its own sake; progress and clarity matter more than overworking details.

Every project starts with an initial idea, but real value comes from research, perspective, and understanding the brand’s goals. I see design not as inventing something entirely new, but as delivering the right message with clarity and impact. Professional work is always driven by purpose, functionality, and clear communication. Once the foundation is set, I move through drafting, refinement, and presentation, ensuring the work is aligned with its objective and delivered in a structured, polished way.
