Art has always been at the center of my life. From an early age, I attended art school in parallel with regular schooling, dedicating nine years to mastering painting, composition, and drawing. Under the guidance of an inspiring teacher, I received recognition in national competitions and developed a lasting appreciation for both Renaissance masters and Impressionist painters.

I later enrolled in the Industrial Design Department at the Academy, where I received a comprehensive education in concept development, sculpture, product design, and design history. My six years of study culminated in a master’s thesis titled “Proportions as a Factor in Design,” exploring the relationship between form, balance, and function.

At age nineteen, I began working professionally as a designer through freelance and private commissions. This early experience allowed me to blend my fine art background with practical design thinking — uniting emotional expression with functional clarity. Whether developing immersive environments, conceptual objects, or visual identities, I always aim to create work that carries purpose, presence, and emotion.

A quote that continues to guide me comes from Ursula K. Le Guin: “A creative adult is a child who survived.” That sense of wonder, endurance, and curiosity is what fuels my practice.

Today, living in Seattle, I continue to evolve as a multidisciplinary artist and designer — combining narrative, technology, and the timeless principles of composition to create meaningful, human-centered experiences.
