about

It all started with a Nikon FG. 

 

Today, the FG is called "vintage". Back then, I took mine everywhere with me, capturing images of everything that caught my eye. I realized the significance of light and how it alone can make the difference between a good photo and a great one. I fell in love with composition and how it opened a perception that allowed me to see beauty and harmony in everyday scenes. It’s fascinating how a camera can change the way we see our world and make us more attuned to the subtle interplay of elements that create a powerful image.  Photography allowed me to connect with the world around me and share that connection with others.​

Somewhere along the way, I found another, different (yet similar), passion: graphic design. 

 

Graphic design is my way of bringing ideas to life; the challenge of taking a thought, a feeling, a hope - and creating something tangible that communicates, inspires, and engages - it’s so exciting! Whether I’m designing a sleek logo, crafting a vibrant poster, or building an intuitive user interface, I find joy in the process of bringing concepts to life through color, typography, and layout.  Graphic design is about more than just aesthetics to me - it's about problem-solving, storytelling, connecting, and making an impact!
