My foundation is graphic design and brand strategy, which lets me naturally connect aesthetic excellence with user-centered functionality. Whether building complete brand systems, communication materials, websites or interfaces — and using generative AI to prototype fast — I thrive in fast-moving environments where experimentation turns ideas into real things.
Drove design for several experimental products in parallel, from initial immersion to production-ready handoff — exploring distinct directions of visual identity and experience, with Gib.meme as the standout.
Sole designer for a venture studio portfolio, working alongside founders from concept to launch — across brand, product and investor communication.
Co-founded a design studio helping startups and businesses build brands, products and digital experiences — owning strategy, discovery and delivery end to end.
Built visual identities and brand systems for companies across multiple industries — where my foundation in design thinking, client collaboration and business-driven design was laid.
Foundation in visual communication, human-centered design, typography, information architecture and visual systems — the base for everything I build today: brands, communication, websites and digital produciences.
