A short timeline — from learning the tools to running projects independently.
Working directly with D2C and hospitality brands on identity, social content and short-form video — with AI tools folded into the everyday workflow rather than replacing it.
Took on the first UI/UX briefs alongside design work — wireframing app flows and animating product walkthroughs for early-stage startups.
Began taking on paid design work after building a personal portfolio of branding and social content projects.
Built a foundation in Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects, studying brand design and motion fundamentals from the ground up.
