more about me
I’m a multidisciplinary designer and creative storyteller exploring the intersection of digital products, visual storytelling, and 3D worlds.
Over the past few years, I’ve worked as a Senior Product (UX/UI) Designer and Design Instructor, helping teams and learners transform ideas into meaningful digital experiences. In the meantime, I independently create visual worlds through 3D design, film, and creative direction.
My background spans from VFX modeling and 3D printing to Digital Product Design (UX and UI Design), branding, and education. This is a path that shaped how I think about design: as a dialogue between function and emotion, structure and story, the digital and the tangible.
I’m fascinated by the way technology can amplify creativity, whether through a beautifully crafted interface, a cinematic visual, or a prototype that makes an idea real.
Today, my work focuses on merging strategic design thinking with artistic experimentation, creating products and stories that feel as human as they are innovative.
