About
I'm a front-end developer and motion designer who bridges the gap between design and interaction. I build responsive, accessible websites with Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and Framer, bringing ideas to life with thoughtful motion that enhances clarity and flow. With a background in 2D/3D animation and UI/UX design, I approach every project with a balance of creativity and technical precision—crafting digital experiences that feel as good as they look. I design in Figma, prototype in Framer, and animate in After Effects and Rive to create work that connects with users on a visual and emotional level. I'm always exploring new ways to merge storytelling and technology—let's create something memorable together.
