Tell us about your creative work and how you got to where you are now.
I started out as a self-taught creative, juggling motherhood and client work from my laptop. Over the years, I’ve grown from a solo freelancer into a strategic business owner for thoughtful brands ready to lead in their respective industries.
How would you describe your design style?
Refined, intentional, and editorial. I lean toward soft, earthy palettes and clean layouts that balance strategy with aesthetic; where every detail feels cohesive and purposeful.
Describe your ideal client, project or collaboration.
I love working with founders who value meaning, storytelling, and timeless design. My ideal client trusts my expertise. They’re ready to invest in their brand’s future with clarity, confidence, and strategy.
Share a project you’re especially proud of and why.
I recently worked on Ihmani Home, a luxury home goods brand. We explored two distinct creative directions through moodboards before finalizing a calm, elevated visual identity. What made this project special was how deeply aligned the final result felt — every color, word, and layout reflected the brand’s essence.
What’s one lesson you’ve learned in your creative journey that others might need to hear?
You don’t need to have it all figured out to start! Clarity comes with action. So many designers delay showing up because they’re refining behind the scenes. But growth really begins when you start building in the open.
Who is a designer you admire?
@lune_creatives – her attention to details is so admirable!
How do you stay inspired?
I love to spend a lot of time outside, just to clear my mind and have space to think clearly. I also enjoy spending time with my kids and binge watching shows.
