With nearly a decade of experience in brand design, I’ve had the opportunity to craft thoughtful, original solutions for some of the world’s leading brands—including Apple, Nike, Google, Facebook, Instagram, and Airbnb.

That journey took me around the world, sharpening my creative and strategic thinking—while also sparking a deeper passion for storytelling and worldbuilding. This ultimately led me to the world of 3D and cinema, where I now channel everything I’ve learned into creating immersive environments and emotionally resonant narratives.
