About

Multidisciplinary creative working at the intersection of culture, communication, and strategy. My work explores how audience insight, storytelling, and identity systems shape meaningful brand experiences. Through hands-on brand development and campaign work, I translate cultural observation into strategic positioning and creative execution. I am pursuing formal training in advertising and communications to strengthen my analytical thinking, research foundation, and campaign development skills.
