Forever a creative

Throughout my professional career and all the way to school days, I've loved visual design, hue, colour palettes, typography, composition, you name it.

Background in marketing and brand

In 2018, I graduated with Bachelor of Commerce at the University of Canterbury. There, I became obsessed with digital marketing and gained brand marketing experience working for B2B professional services, SaaS and an agency.

Embracing my
visual eye

To my advantage, I've been able to leverage a lot of the skills and design principles I've developed as a Digital Marketer to greatly expedite my journey of self-learning UI / UX Design. I love solving problems and creating visually stunning products that are consistent, and speak to the genuine brand's values.
