Hi! I'm Sofia, a multidisciplinary designer rooted in community and driven to create with purpose.

I love anything and everything that exercises my imagination. I am often finding myself telling stories through any medium I can.


In my work, I use a human-centered approach to create high-quality, intentional designs that are functional and impactful. I believe good design simply acts as an extension of the individual.

Design Philosophy

1

Remember your why.

Design with intent and design for people.

2

Dig deeper.

Keep wondering and keep pushing.

3

Iterate, iterate, iterate.

Make mistakes and try new approaches.

In My Free Time

I love spending my free time outdoors. You can usually find me by a body of water with my watercolor pan and a healthy spread of snacks. I keep my digital camera with me at all times to capture my latest adventures, along with a sketchbook for doodles and mementos.


I love visiting museums, watching Architectural Digest videos, and trying out new recipes. I am often cooking or baking something new to share with friends.
