About Me.
I love the process of problem-solving and executing on ideas, only to continue refining and improving.
I am passionate about working on projects that create meaningful impact, whether through practical solutions or by bringing a sense of fulfillment to others.
Throughout my career, I have been involved in a wide range of creative endeavors—both independently and as part of dynamic teams. What I find most rewarding is collaborating with others to bring ideas to life, whether it’s executing a successful project, growing a business, or orchestrating an event. I thrive on both the creative ideation and the meticulous attention to detail required to turn concepts into reality.
I am eager to apply my skills in a collaborative environment, where I can contribute to solving unique challenges and optimizing existing processes. From strategic visioning and planning to hands-on execution, I enjoy every stage of the creative journey, especially the satisfaction of achieving key milestones and seeing a project come to fruition.
Below, you’ll find examples of the projects I’ve worked on and the clients I’ve had the privilege to collaborate with.

Values.
In every project I participate in, these are the 3 I most enjoy and believe in.
01. Collaborative Creativity
I believe in the power of collaboration to unlock creativity and inspire innovation.
Whether designing courses, building nonprofits, or organizing events, working together with others allows for the cross-pollination of ideas and skills, resulting in work that feels dynamic, intentional, and meaningful.
The process of co-creating is not just about the end product but about the shared journey of making something greater than the sum of its parts.
02. Design as a Catalyst for Engagement
Great design goes beyond aesthetics—it’s about sparking engagement and fostering connection.
Through the use of animation, graphic design, and even Virtual Reality art, I create visually dynamic, interactive experiences that encourage deeper involvement and response from audiences.
Every visual element, from color to typography, is thoughtfully chosen to set the tone and enhance the user experience, creating a strong, lasting impression.
03. Continuous Feedback & Refinement
I view feedback as a vital ingredient for successful project outcomes. By embedding a feedback loop into the project lifecycle—whether from users, stakeholders, or team members—I ensure the project remains relevant, impactful, and aligned with evolving needs.
The Agile approach allows for constant improvement, where each sprint brings us closer to a polished final product that is both functional and user-centered.
Whether creating a course, building a nonprofit, or designing an event, I focus on developing an MVP that delivers immediate value, then use feedback to evolve the product or experience.

Clients.
It is a great joy to support small business, private practices, passion projects, and nonprofit organizations.
“Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for us. You couldn’t have been a better fit for this. The way you conduct our weekly meetings and your ability to ask the right questions was incredibly helpful. We couldn’t be happier with the way our ecommerce turned out. Thank you!”
