ABOUT

Good design is Innovative, useful, aesthetically pleasing, timeless and can be understood by all persons it comes into contact with. I believe that design does not exist in isolation; it is a reflection of the larger society. As society changes, so should design. My extensive expertise in design ranges from UI/UX design, Print design, web design, product design, infographic design, publication design, presentation design, branding and collateral, social media and packaging design. I have vast experience and knowledge in Adobe Suite with over a decade of experience in the field.
