What I'm looking for
I am a senior graphic and UX designer with extensive experience leading cross-platform marketing, editorial, and product design initiatives for brands and publishers. I develop scalable design systems, direct creative teams, and deliver cohesive visual assets across email, web, print, motion, and retail that elevate brand identity and drive engagement.
My background includes art direction for major relaunches and partnerships, redesigning editorial and digital experiences, and migrating teams to modern design tooling like Figma. I mentor junior designers, streamline production workflows, and combine user-centered research with strong visual sensibilities to create effective, accessible designs.
