Hi! I’m Tina.‎‎‏‏‎‎‎

I strive to make everything I touch a little more beautiful and organized.

As a multidisciplinary designer, I’ve worn many hats — copywriter, multimedia content producer, brand strategist, project manager, as well as graphic and web designer. All of these roles have solidified my interest in language and visuals on a holistic and granular level. I like to look at every last detail and make sure it clicks.
