What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can design accessible, brand-aligned visual communication systems—especially educational and mission-driven content—across print, digital, and interactive formats, while building reusable design systems that improve consistency and speed.

I am a Senior Graphic Designer and Visual Communications Specialist with 7+ years of experience creating communication systems, educational materials, accessible digital content, and public-facing campaigns for scientific, technical, and mission-driven organizations.

I translate complex information into clear, engaging visual communications across print, digital, web, and presentation platforms. In my work, I develop visual storytelling assets that turn educational, scientific, and cultural content into audience-facing experiences.

I build and maintain branded templates, presentation systems, graphic libraries, and production standards to support consistency across multidisciplinary project teams. I establish and enforce brand standards, typography systems, layout frameworks, and accessibility guidelines across print and digital communications.

I also create scalable design systems and reusable communication toolkits that streamline content production and improve consistency across recurring training and communication programs. I collaborate closely with designers, developers, writers, fabricators, vendors, stakeholders, and subject matter experts to deliver high-quality communication materials within aggressive project timelines.
