I’ve been very lucky to find my passion for product design early in life – and stubborn enough to chase it as my career. I earned an engineering degree to understand how things are actually made – and spent rest of my college days staying up late teaching myself graphic design and 3D modelling.
Since then I’ve sat on every side of the table: start-ups, creative agencies and global corporates as a creative director, packaging engineer and new product development manager, collecting perspectives from every corner of the process.
I did some pretty cool things with pretty big names - some might ring a bell - like Procter&Gamble, Cyberpunk 2077, Coca-Cola, and often even cooler things will smaller indie brands.

Nice personal brand photoshoot coming soon :)
I'm not just a designer - I see manufacturing constraints, business rationale, consumer trends and all the tiny levers that make or break a brand. Because I've been there too - I’ve launched products that quietly sold out their first drops, been the one in the back room packing boxes and refreshing Shopify to check it’s really “out of stock”.
PS. And I know from experience that Shopify has way too many confusing plugins, so if you need someone to vent about it, I'm your buddy.

Every Brand Has a Story
Even if you’re just getting started and feel like you have no idea what you’re doing, there’s always a story to tell. My job is to pull it out of your head and translate it into product and packaging.
