I have a special love for strong concepts. For over 15 years, I built a strong foundation in graphic design while focusing on branding, packaging, editorial design, and advertising.
Before calling New York home, I grew up in several countries, including Korea, Portugal, India, Switzerland and Bulgaria. Initially, I studied international political economy before making a difficult decision to change course. I plunged into design and never looked back. When I'm not designing, you'll most likely find me on a tennis court.
