ABOUT

For over 8+ years, I’ve led brand transformations, built investor decks that win funding, and delivered design systems for companies across tech, consumer goods, and culture. My work combines strategic thinking with execution across web, brand, and presentation design.

With deep experience in brand identity, presentation design, and web design, I help companies communicate with clarity and impact. I’ve partnered with startups, growth-stage companies, and established brands to create everything from high-conversion pitch decks to complete brand overhauls.

Clients include Kona AI, GoGoods, FooodDude, Studio Misfits, Triality, and more, where I’ve delivered results through cohesive branding systems, intuitive web experiences, and presentation materials that close deals.
