One mindset,
two directions
While my work is divided between design and travel content, both are driven by the same mindset.
Photography sharpens my awareness of context, detail, and real environments, while my design background ensures every visual serves a clear purpose — balancing aesthetics with real-world use. I focus on creating work that exists in the real world — designed to be used, not just displayed.
Design
I’ve been working as a graphic designer for over seven years, collaborating closely with marketing teams on a wide range of design needs — from content and print materials to presentations and layout systems. My approach is rooted in building a deep understanding of each brand and maintaining visual consistency across all touchpoints over time.
Over the years, my work has spanned a wide range of products and organizations — from fintech and digital SaaS products to non-profit initiatives and premium brands. This experience allows me to navigate complex products, sensitive contexts, and high visual standards with clarity and care.

content
I work as a travel content creator alongside my design practice, shaped by years of moving through places rather than just visiting them. I’ve been to nearly 200 destinations across 54 countries, spending time observing everyday life, local culture, and the small details that define a place beyond its landmarks.
My travel photography and video focus on streets, cities, architecture, nature, and people, capturing places as they are lived in. Instead of creating perfectly polished, postcard-like visuals, my work is grounded in real moments, atmosphere, and human presence.
I also run a travel-focused Instagram blog, where I share thoughtful, practical, and visually strong content that thousands of people actively save and return to. This long-term work with an engaged audience has shaped how I approach content creation — with clarity, honesty, and a strong sense of context.
I create photo and video content for cities, destinations, travel boards, and hospitality brands, working on location and focusing on atmosphere, everyday life, and cultural context.
I offer a curated library of travel photography available for commercial and editorial licensing, capturing cities, architecture, nature, and people across different countries and regions.
I work with brands and digital products to create photo and video content that fits naturally into their communication, using either existing travel visuals or custom production.
