Visual Storyteller

The Story Behind the Lens

I turn ideas into visual stories that connect with people.

Creative thinker + visual storyteller.

Simple solutions always outlast complicated ones.

From the first unboxing to daily use, every tool should feel effortless and natural.

Areas of Focus

Visual Systems

Intentionality makes things stand out. I use color theory and composition to cut through noise and reveal what's essential.

Creative Infrastructure

Workflows should inspire, not exhaust. I build systems that bridge the gap between craft and the need to scale.

Understanding Design

Tools should feel good in the hand, and spaces should shape how we think, work, and create.

Signal Over Noise

The goal is not to have more, but to have better. I remove what is unnecessary to focus on what truly matters.

Let's Work Together

I work with studios, brands, and creators who care about clarity. If you need help shaping a visual system, building creative infrastructure, or guiding a project from start to finish, let's connect.

The Toolkit

Color Grading & Editing

DaVinci Resolve for cinematic color grading and sharp editing. Node-based workflows keep things consistent but true to natural light.

Design Systems

Figma for structured UI/UX and tokens. Photoshop for pixel-perfect detail. Unified but not rigid.

Knowledge Architecture

Obsidian as a second brain, VS Code to shape ideas into the systems I build, Markdown for durable notes.

AI-Assisted Iteration

Use AI to quickly explore ideas while still keeping a human touch. Claude helps with writing, Midjourney creates visuals, and scripts handle automation.
