About

Range is a survival tactic, not a personality trait. When you're the only designer in the room, handling illustration, branding, motion, and print isn't a flex. It's the job.

For the last five years, that job has lived in regulated digital products. Insurance (Anytime by Interamerican, three countries), banking (Piraeus winbank), trading (ZuluTrade), consumer fintech (Credit Genie). I have designed buttons that make compliance officers happy. It is a specific skill.

The methodology, since you asked: I show up early enough to shape the strategy. I stay long enough to actually ship. I build the system robust enough that the next ten designers can work without calling me for the HEX codes.

I started in print, moved to digital in 2017, and spent the years since treating budgetary constraints and regulatory compliance as creative materials. Less muse, more walls of reality.
