A strategist and conceptual thinker currently exploring how emerging technology reshapes culture, identity, and society in the 21st century. Curious about using speculation and design research to help brands and communities understand their role in society beyond trends.

I've spent the past four years working across large-scale commercial agencies and small-scale studios to grasp the reality of the creative industry and how it's developing. The overlaps and differences taught me the importance of reputation, cult brands, and the ever-present desire for authenticity among marketing-savvy consumers. Now, my time is focused on applying strategic skills and speculative thinking to projects beyond advertising that go deeper, recontextualising philosophical ideas to make sense of today's world.
