ABOUT
I believe that creativity holds the power to heal, connect, and transform. I see art and design not just as visual expressions, but as tools to serve people emotionally, culturally, and spiritually. In an age where everything moves fast and technology often overshadows human touch, I’m deeply committed to preserving cultural heritage and traditional stories through my creative practice. I aim to bridge the past and future, using storytelling, symbolism, and design to keep meaningful histories alive while creating space for reflection and connection.
I am a multidisciplinary designer who graduated from the Interior Design department at The Canadian LaSalle College.
My initial professional experiences began at architectural firms, where I had the opportunity to work on designing various small-scale architectural projects. These projects included residential spaces, with a focus on French-style homes, as well as TV sets and custom furniture designs.
Over time, my passion for art, design, and photography led me to explore beyond architecture. Through self-directed learning, I mastered various tools, which allowed me to participate in and win several international contests. These experiences connected me with clients around the world who valued my ability to create visual identities that captured the essence of their brands.
My creative process is also deeply influenced by my background in biology and geology. The organic forms, fluidity, and complexity of natural systems continue to amaze me and subtly inform the aesthetics and concepts behind much of my work.
As an artist and photographer, I’ve exhibited my work in numerous exhibitions and have received several awards recognizing both the emotional depth and technical strength of my pieces.
Beyond my design and artistic practice, I am a certified art coach. I’ve led creative workshops for individuals and groups, both in-person and at renowned art festivals, guiding participants through processes of self-expression, experimentation, and personal transformation through art.
Whether I'm designing a brand, curating a visual narrative, or facilitating a creative session, my work is rooted in a desire to inspire, connect, and empower, using creativity as a bridge between people, ideas, and emotions.
Personal Skills
Possessing a unique blend of motivation, communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities, I consistently drive projects to success.
My artistic background in painting and design allows me to bring a fresh perspective to the table, fostering creativity, delivering innovative ideas, and crafting compelling visual storytelling and creating experiments that connect with people in meaningful and lasting ways
