At Makae Design Studio, I merge creativity and strategy to craft brands that connect and inspire. Every project starts with understanding your story, values, and vision.
I collaborate closely with clients to transform ideas into impactful designs that go beyond aesthetics—they solve problems and make a lasting impression. This studio was born from my passion for purposeful design and my belief in bold, meaningful work.
I’m here to be your creative partner, guiding you every step of the way to bring your vision to life.
Have a dream? Let’s make it happen.

My Vision
My work is rooted in values of sustainability, inclusivity, and authenticity, and I’m passionate about collaborating with brands that share these ideals.
In the future, I see myself working with businesses that are bold in their vision, whether it’s small startups breaking new ground, mission-driven organizations advocating for change, or established brands ready to evolve. I want to help shape stories that matter and build designs that leave an impact.
Let's work together to make a positive difference through thoughtful, meaningful design.
