I'm a creative strategist specializing in character-driven product and brand storytelling.
With a foundation in fashion design and a passion for storytelling, I bridge the gap between creative vision and strategic implementation. My work spans character development, product innovation, and brand narrative creation for entertainment and lifestyle companies.
I believe that the most compelling products and experiences emerge from deep understanding of human stories and emotional connections. Whether developing characters for animated features or designing products that resonate with consumers, I approach each project with strategic thinking and creative excellence.
My expertise lies in translating abstract concepts into tangible designs that not only look beautiful but also serve meaningful purposes. I'm particularly drawn to projects that combine visual storytelling with product development, creating experiences that audiences can both connect with emotionally and engage with practically.
