Freelance Graphic Designer

I’m a design leader driven by the intersection of emerging technology, human behavior, and business innovation. Over the past few years, I’ve helped shape enterprise strategy and future-facing prototypes across digital identity, Web3, and spatial computing—earning multiple patents and influencing how a Fortune 50 bank navigates the next wave of financial services.

With a background in startup culture and enterprise R&D, I specialize in translating ambiguity into momentum—building multidisciplinary teams, crafting scalable visions, and creating value beyond the screen.

Now, I’m focused on leading design teams that aren’t just solving today’s problems, but defining what’s next.
