What I'm looking for

I am seeking a collaborative environment that values creativity and innovation, with opportunities for growth in design and branding.

I am a passionate Graphic Designer with a Master of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from the Academy of Art University. Over the years, I have honed my skills in editorial design, branding, and digital media, delivering high-quality work under tight deadlines. My experience spans various roles, including my current position at National Horseman Publishing, where I have designed over 24 magazine publications, each ranging from 200 to 600 pages. My ability to manage high-volume projects while maintaining quality has been a key factor in my success.

As a Freelance Graphic Designer, I have worked with diverse clients, creating logos, UX/UI elements, and marketing collateral tailored to their needs. My entrepreneurial spirit led me to establish an online store on Etsy, where I achieved over 15,300 sales by specializing in wedding signage and custom wall art. I take pride in my commitment to customer service, which has earned me a 5-star rating and repeat business from loyal clients.
