Get to know me...

a little bit better.

Since my early teenage years, I’ve been captivated by the creative industries. I used to spend countless nights fiddling around with Photoshop and After Effects, because of how cool I thought it was!

In 2017, I ventured into a brief period of running a software and hardware repair business. I used Photoshop to design marketing posters and wrote catchy copy to try and find leads on Facebook.

In 2021 and 2022, I launched and marketed two e-commerce brands: a dog-themed store and a general store. This experience taught me invaluable lessons about marketing, branding and money.

Since then, I’ve continuously been focused on improving my soft and technical skills through various jobs and projects.

When not working, you’ll find me at the gym, cooking up a storm in the kitchen, travelling, socialising, or immersed in personal projects or TV series!
