i freelance with studios like bx studio and blue daring, and spent ten years as the senior designer at studio pax, where i wore every hat from branding to web design to print production. that mix taught me how to design with both precision and practicality — balancing creative energy with real-world impact.

outside of work, i’m usually training muay thai, watching anime, or catching a live show. design is what i do — but curiosity, culture, and movement are what keep me inspired.
