About
Hello!
As far back as I can remember, imagination and creativity have been my guiding forces. From crafting pinecone sculptures and crayon mosaics in childhood to pursuing a formal education in fine arts and applied arts, and ultimately forging my career path—imagination and creativity have been the keys to my joy and success.
My true fulfillment lies in problem-solving, distilling complex information, and crafting impactful messaging and visuals for my clients.
While my years in advertising agencies provided a solid foundation and opportunities to refine my skills and develop a personal style, it was only when I ventured out on my own that I truly found creative fulfillment through client connections and collaborations.
When people inquire about my profession, it’s tempting to label myself as a senior-level graphic artist, designer, or branding specialist. However, these titles feel somewhat limiting. With over three decades of experience under my belt, my diverse background enables me to envision the bigger picture and offer a blend of tried-and-tested solutions along with innovative approaches.
