I’m a versatile designer who enjoys turning ideas into polished designs, from digital illustrations and logos to CADs, tech packs, and print layouts. With years of freelance and project-based experience, I help clients bring creative concepts to life while keeping projects organized, practical, and visually striking. I love working at the intersection of creativity and production, making sure every piece not only looks great but works in the real world.
