What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values creativity and innovation.

I am a dedicated designer and illustrator with a strong passion for using experimental approaches in my work. My experience spans various roles, including a Photography Assistant at Danceworks, where I honed my skills in managing and directing large groups of dancers while capturing studio portraits. This role allowed me to blend my illustration skills with design thinking, enabling clients to own and defend their space in the market.

As a Graphic Design Intern at Zella DC, I contributed to the creation of marketing collateral, utilizing tools like Hubspot and WordPress for website design and InDesign for blog posts. Currently, I work as a Freelance Designer and Illustrator, where I communicate effectively with clients to create high-quality design collateral while managing multiple deadlines in a fast-paced environment. My commitment to excellence was recognized when I became a finalist for the 2021 AGDA Award in Graphic Design.
