As a child, I loved elaborate and beautiful puzzles. Each piece was a riddle, and the completed picture revealed a perfect harmony. That instinct still shapes how I design.

My work explores design as a system of storytelling, assembling fragments of culture, memory, and research into cohesive visual and spatial narratives. I’m interested in how identity, language, and history can be translated into publication, brand systems, and built environments.

Through research-driven projects and experiential design, I investigate how visual systems hold cultural knowledge and invite participation.
