    Whether I’m designing immersive web experiences, creating striking posters, developing album artwork, or shaping visual identities, I am continually seeking opportunities that challenge me creatively and allow me to grow as an artist and designer.

    I am a writer and media creator focused on international stories, language, and culture. My work explores how language shapes identity, how media connects people across borders, and how cultural narratives evolve in a globalized world. Whether through writing, digital media, or visual storytelling, I aim to highlight the richness of diverse perspectives and foster cross-cultural understanding. I am particularly interested in how multilingualism influences communication and how media can be used to bridge cultural divides. Through storytelling, I strive to create work that informs, inspires, and encourages meaningful conversations about the ways we connect, communicate, and share our experiences across languages and cultures.
