I’m a Brand Identity Designer specializing in food, café, and lifestyle brands. I help emerging and owner-operated brands translate their story into clear, premium, and consistent visual systems that improve recognition, trust, and perceived value across every touchpoint — from logo and identity systems to launch visuals and digital presence. My background spans film, advertising, and visual storytelling, which shapes how I approach branding: not just as design, but as perception-building. I focus on how a brand is experienced visually, emotionally, and consistently across its first impression. Selected experience includes brand identity work for café, skincare, and lifestyle projects, where I developed logo systems, visual direction, and launch assets designed to support real-world brand positioning. Previously, I also worked on creative optimization in Amazon advertising, contributing to a 24% improvement in conversion rate through visual and creative strategy in a highly competitive FMCG environment. I bring this performance-oriented thinking into branding — ensuring visuals are not only aesthetic, but effective. If you’re building or refining a brand and want clarity in how it looks, feels, and communicates — I’d be glad to connect.
