Crafting Unique Experiences, One Design at a Time.

Crafting Unique Experiences, One Design at a Time.
Innovative designer with over a decade of experience.
I design digital experiences, brands, and marketing systems that turn complex ideas into clear, usable, and visually compelling experiences.
For the past 10+ years, I’ve worked across brand, marketing, web, and event design (primarily within fast-paced corporate environments where clarity, speed, and consistency were essential). That experience taught me how to design for real-world constraints, evolving systems, and diverse audiences.
Working in the events industry especially shaped how I think about design, not just as visuals, but as complete experiences across digital and physical touchpoints.
Today, I’m applying that foundation to UX/UI and product design, focusing on creating cohesive digital experiences that simplify complexity and improve how people interact with products and services.
I enjoy turning messy, complex ideas into clear, structured, and meaningful experiences. Balancing user needs with business goals and strong visual design.
Born in Detroit and shaped by 14 years in Orlando, I’m married to a “Bonita Paulista” from São Paulo, whose city’s grit and creativity keep my perspective global. I’m fueled by coffee, the occasional IPA, sightseeing, and the thrill of a strategic rally on the court.
I'm on the edge of no-code tools that allow me to bring my creativity to life.

My Path
My Path
My creative journey started in multimedia design, where I got to play with a bit of everything. That experience led me to focus on brand and marketing design, and I fell in love with the process of shaping how a brand speaks to the world.
More recently, I've been diving into UX. It feels like the missing piece, allowing me to build experiences that aren't just visually compelling, but also genuinely connect with people.
For me, it's all about creating work that leaves a lasting impression.
