Cassandra Macuja

I am currently a psychology student in the process of transitioning into interior design in the Philippines, as I am increasingly drawn to the creative and visual aspects of design. I am a self-taught graphic designer with strong skills in visual composition and design execution, and I have gathered multiple works across different projects. I have also completed two full-time internships, which provided me with hands-on experience in design, visual presentation, and working in fast-paced professional environments.

I am particularly interested in how design influences space, mood, and user experience.
