Let's create

cool sh*t. 


I’m a brand designer and illustrator based in NYC. Born in the Bahamas and raised across Beijing, Cebu, Osaka, Macau, Bali, Beirut, and Dubai, I bring a global lens to every project. My work is shaped by cultural awareness, emotional clarity, and a commitment to building thoughtful, cohesive brand worlds. Above all: I design with care, for people.
