Artist by heart. Designer by soul. Entrepreneur by choice.
I’m the Founder and Design Director of Lollypop.Design, a research-driven studio that reimagined digital experiences. What began in a garage with two people grew into a 240-member global team, creating work that impacted millions and earned international recognition.
