Design begins with listening.

about.

I'm a junior web designer at the beginning of my professional journey, focused on creating calm, clear, and user-friendly digital experiences.

I work with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to build structured, responsive layouts, and I use Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop to shape visual identity and interface elements. I've also worked on projects using WordPress, and I'm familiar with PHP and Tailwind CSS, which I use to extend functionality and maintain clean, consistent styling. I'm comfortable using Figma for wireframes, basic layouts, and early design exploration.

I approach design with curiosity, attention to detail, and respect for the user's experience. I believe good design doesn't need to be loud — it needs to be thoughtful, balanced, and honest. I'm eager to keep learning and growing through every project.
