About me:
I’m a designer with a passion for storytelling and creativity across various mediums. I graduated from OCAD University in 2023, earning a degree in Experimental Animation with a minor in Illustration, where I developed a strong foundation in visual storytelling, colour harmony and dynamic design.
My curiosity for new techniques led me to explore 3D modelling, a skill I taught myself through hands-on projects and experimentation. This journey culminated in a freelance role as an environment modeller from January to March 2024, where I contributed to crafting immersive digital spaces.
Driven by an interest in user-centered design, I also completed a UX + UI course at OCAD University's School of Continuing Studies, blending my artistic eye with practical problem-solving to create meaningful and functional designs.
In addition to my work in digital mediums, I’m the owner of a small business dedicated to crafting crochet plushies and patterns. Through this venture, I not only design and create unique pieces, but also connect with a vibrant community on Instagram, sharing my process and building my brand.
Whether working with textiles, pixels, or paint, I thrive on bringing creative ideas to life and connecting with others through art and design.
