You've made it this far. Don't be deterred by the mean-mug...
...there's a bit more below.
a little about me
I consider myself a digital crafter, and in my creative journey, I adapt my approach to each project's unique requirements. Rather than imposing a predetermined style onto my work, I allow the project's needs to guide its aesthetic. My unwavering commitment is to ensure the highest quality in everything I create. However, I firmly believe that the essence of playfulness should always be present in the creative process. To me, simplicity is often the enemy of innovation. If you're not embracing the joy of pushing your own boundaries and having fun while doing it, you're missing the essence of creative expression.
While I distinguish between design and art, I firmly believe that those in the realm of creativity should be fluent in both languages. In my perspective, design is an act of empathy; it involves understanding the needs and perspectives of others to craft meaningful solutions. On the other hand, art represents an act of freedom, enabling creators to express themselves without constraints. These two languages, design and art, coexist in the world of creativity, each with its unique purpose and power to inspire and communicate.

I'm certain we all wear multpile hats as creatives. These are some of the hats I enjoy wearing, and some I look forward to growing into.
illustration
Illustration is my passion, older Disney script writers would say "My One True Love". Being an illustrator allows me to bring vivid and imaginative worlds to life through a more artistic lense. I relish the opportunity to communicate ideas, emotions, and stories with a unique visual language, whether it's in the form of intricate character designs, enchanting landscapes, or whimsical concepts.
Graphic design
Graphic design, a mere profession to most; but to me it's a canvas for communication. The challenge of combining typography, color, and imagery to convey messages effectively, hardly ever requires a "one-size" approach, which keeps things exciting. My goal is to create designs that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also resonate with the audience on a profound level, or are just fun to engage in at time.
motion graphics
Motion design is the dynamic heartbeat of my creative journey. I am fascinated by the ability to breathe life into static elements, transforming them into captivating animations and visual experiences. Whether it's a sleek logo reveal or a mesmerizing video, I relish the opportunity to engage and enthrall through motion.
branding
Branding as a means of sculpting an identity and forging connections is quite intriguing for me. I view brands as living entities with distinct personalities, and I enjoy the challenge of shaping their visual and emotional narrative. Being part of crafting compelling brand strategies and design systems is a fascinating aspect of design that I enjoy being a part of.
art direction
Art direction is an avenue for crafting captivating visual stories that I'm eager to delve more into. Embracing the responsibility of curating aesthetics, directing photography or video shoots, and ensuring that every frame is a masterpiece in its own right. It's about harmonizing elements to create memorable and visually stunning narratives.
