Looking back, every dream and passion I had growing up pointed me toward becoming an Art Director—I just didn’t know it yet.

I once wanted to be a journalist, and now I help brands tell their stories. I dreamed of being a comic artist, and today I bring narratives to life, frame by frame, through storyboards and videos. The fashion designer phase never led to fashion school, but I take styling talent for shoots seriously. Filmmaking has always been part of the journey, starting with a high school documentary about cosplayers shot on a borrowed camcorder, and now turning into directing TV spots. Graphic design has been a constant passion, and over the years, I’ve created everything from print to digital work for brands big and small. When I finally fulfilled my dream of becoming an Art Director, all those pieces clicked into place, and I’ve been loving every bit of it since.

The titles have changed, but the passion has stayed the same: telling stories through words, visuals, and every form of art I can get my hands on.

Let’s chit chat.
