I am a creative leader with 14 years of experience shaping brand identities and visual storytelling across fashion, lifestyle, and consumer markets. As a former Lead Designer, I have directed seasonal concepts, managed cross-functional teams, and built cohesive narratives that connect design, marketing, and customer experience. My background spans apparel design, illustration, and digital branding, and I am equally comfortable creating hands-on visual assets as I am setting strategy and guiding teams toward a unified creative vision. With a passion for cultural trends, brand storytelling, and innovative design, I bring a strategic yet highly visual approach to art direction that drives engagement and builds lasting brand equity.
