Projects


Interdisciplinary designer with a focus on editorial design, user experience and user interfaces.
My work is research-driven and often experimental, shaped by human-centered research and a strong interest in how people move through and understand information.
I enjoy working within constraints, working with a design community, and refining ideas through iteration. Storytelling, accessibility, and moments of joy are central to my design practice.
My interests include publication design, interactive design, and branding, and I’m currently seeking internships and junior-level opportunities to continue growing my practice.
