As a pre-teen, I fell into the world of Myspace layouts — fully immersed, wildly particular, and unknowingly designing. That curiosity never left. It just got sharper. I’m drawn to curating visual worlds — balancing thoughtful systems with expressive details — and I tend to approach design like a method actor: fully immersed, emotionally invested and all in. I'm especially drawn to work that invites storytelling, whether that's through branding, editorial, or interactive experiences. I’m keen on an ‘organized chaos’ approach to my designs — fusing compositional structure and balance with funky forms.

Coach’s brand refresh reintroduces the iconic fashion house through a bold new monogram system, elevated editorial layout, and refined digital experience. This project includes updated web and mobile designs, product mockups, and campaign visuals that blend modern energy with timeless brand heritage.

This brand campaign for Ilegal Mezcal introduces a bold, rebellious visual identity rooted in the brand’s underground origins. The updated packaging system includes a refined logomark, map-based storytelling, and an expanded product line with infused hard seltzers — all unified by rugged typography, muted desert tones and strong shelf presence.

Wave Riot is a bold rebrand of a surf collective based in Bondi, Australia. The identity channels the rebellious spirit of surf culture through expressive typography, a refined but energetic palette, and graphic systems that extend across editorial layouts, merchandise and gear. Drawing on visual rhythms of waves and movement, the brand toes the line between coastal cool and modern edge — celebrating the chaos, community, and cadence of the surf lifestyle.
