When I was young, someone asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I’d say: “An artist, a mother, and a teacher.” In many ways, I’ve made that vision real. I’ve built a creative career, I’m raising a family, and—like most parents—I’ve learned that teaching happens every day, whether or not you plan for it.

I studied art and graphic design in the UK, which gave me a strong foundation in visual thinking. But it was my time at a boutique branding agency—working with high-end and luxury market clients—that taught me how to apply design with precision, strategy, and real-world constraints.

After several years of agency work, I shifted into independent contracting, supporting skincare brands and new businesses with identity systems, print marketing, and packaging design. My focus has always leaned toward traditional, tactile work—print pieces you can hold, packaging that tells a story, and brand visuals that feel intentional and human. I recently completed the Google UX Design Professional Certificate. In doing so, I learned that design can be user-centered regardless of whether it is physical or digital.

I think critically, I work with urgency, and I communicate with equal parts clarity and curiosity. If you’re looking for a designer who values substance over flash—and who’s ready to jump in—I'd love to hear from you.
