Creative designer who loves turning ideas into visuals that work. I care, I adapt, I deliver.
I have always been passionate about all aspects of design, from visual aesthetics to how people interact with products daily.
With over five years of freelance experience in digital artwork—including illustration, NFT art and graphic design for posters, packaging, t-shirts, and stickers—I have developed a keen sensitivity to detail, rhythm and storytelling.
Beyond design tools and processes, what truly drives me is empathy. I enjoy observing human behavior, uncovering unmet needs and transforming abstract feelings into simple, functional and emotionally resonant designs.
I believe in creating meaningful experiences by blending artistic vision with structured thinking, science with emotion and form with function. This is where I feel most alive as a designer.
I love cats! 😻

Extra Me!
Don Quijote is my favorite book, full of amusing and thought-provoking adventures that feel like home.
The only music genre that helps me concentrate while working is Lofi!
I enjoy playing competitive board games. My favorite thing in life is spending time laughing and engaging in fun activities with my close friends!
By merging my love for animals with my hobby of dog walking🐶, I meet their needs while enjoying time for myself. Bonding with different dog breeds is an enriching experience. ❤️
