Creativity runs in my family, so it’s not surprising I pursued a career that allows me to use my creative instincts. My design process is resourceful, thoughtful, and thorough. I use different media and create dimensional pieces that stand out and make a statement, big or small
With more than 11 years of experience as a graphic designer, I have worked with brand identities (both creating and expanding them to develop compelling stories), logo design, packaging development, long-form annual reports, editorial pieces, and digital marketing and advertising campaigns. I have broad experience working in both print and digital media and website design.
Problem-solving is integral to design, and my experiences across a multitude of environments have always taught me something new, changed how I approach design thinking, and pushed me to craft unique solutions. I live by the idea that no matter what stage of life or career a person is in, they should never stop learning. And what I don’t know, I learn.
