A bit more about me:
I’m an upbeat, neurodivergent creative with a driven mindset and a passion for branding and design.
For me, creativity isn’t just a profession—it’s a lifeline. When I was little, and newly learning how to navigate Tourette’s Syndrome, creativity helped me cope.
Fast-forward to high-school, I found myself begging my teachers to let lead the branding and promo of school events.
Jumping to now— I work full-time as a digital marketing content designer, where I combine brand strategy, storytelling, and design to amplify the presense of things, and bring them to life.
