About me | CK Portfolio

I'm a senior designer and team lead with over 13 years of experience shaping brands, teams, and processes. I’ve built and led international design teams and developed scalable workflows that made peoples lives easier.

What drives me? Creating brand experiences that not only look great, but actually work across teams, channels, and audiences. I combine strategic thinking with creative execution and a strong bias for clarity, and efficiency.
