ABOUT
ME
I’m a senior graphic and digital designer with over 15 years of experience creating thoughtful, effective design across both corporate and creative environments. I bring a strong balance of strategic thinking and hands-on creativity to every project, with a deep understanding of how design supports brand storytelling and business goals.
My work spans digital and print design, presentation design, brand development, motion design, and multimedia, with a passion for crafting cohesive, end-to-end brand experiences. I enjoy collaborating closely with teams and stakeholders, but I’m equally comfortable working independently and taking ownership of projects from concept to delivery.
Known for my strong communication skills, attention to detail, and respect for deadlines, I thrive in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments. Curious by nature and motivated by continuous learning, I bring energy, reliability, and a solutions-focused mindset to everything I do.
