about me
I hold a deep appreciation for purposeful art and make it my mission to craft designs that empower and inspire. Understanding the profound impact aesthetics can have, I strive to create visuals that not only captivate but also benefit viewers in meaningful ways. Recently, I've merged my design passion with my long-standing commitment to fostering more inclusive communities in Connecticut through "birdies & buddies," an organization that I co-founded with my brothers more than a decade ago. I believe this project exemplifies the impact I aspire to make through design, and I'm eager to explore more avenues where my creative abilities can address valuable topics and create positive change.

I am particularly passionate about helping small businesses flourish through design. Raised in the backdrop of my parents' entrepreneurial endeavors, I witnessed firsthand the challenges of running a small business. Armed with design expertise, I took on the task of revamping their website, crafting effective marketing materials, managing advertising, and redefining their business identity. These experiences ignited a passion for fostering the growth of small enterprises, a journey I've continued by supporting and uplifting various small businesses since then.
With a passion for graphic design at the forefront of my creative journey, my interests extend beyond the realm of digital art. Delving into the worlds of fashion, beauty, and interior design, I find inspiration in the intersection of aesthetics and functionality. This multifaceted approach fuels my creativity, allowing me to bring a diverse and well-rounded perspective to my design endeavors.
My other hobbies include painting, drawing, sculpting, and embroidery. These hobbies not only serve as personal escape but also seamlessly intertwine with my design passion. These interests have become a part of my everyday life, and I love when I get the opportunity to incorporate them into my design projects.

My artistic journey began in childhood, where I found solace and joy in expressing myself through drawings. Venturing into various artistic mediums became my exploration ground, paving the way for a high school experiment that altered my trajectory: graphic design. Instantly enamored with the fusion of creativity and technology, I pursued a combined major in Graphic & Information Design and Mathematics at Northeastern University in Boston.
Though it surprises many, math has always been one of my favorite subjects in school. When Northeastern introduced a major combining both my passions, I embraced it eagerly. Despite the apparent dichotomy, I discovered a harmonious link between graphic design and mathematics—a shared pursuit of order and beauty. Approach-wise, whether solving a math problem or tackling a design task, I establish a goal and explore myriad paths until discovering the optimal solution. As I progressed through college, I uncovered the artistry in math, realizing its creative essence lies in exploring relationships, structures, and patterns for a concept's sound reasoning.
