What I'm looking for

I seek a senior design role leading brand and motion work for purpose-driven organizations—sports, nonprofits, or startups—where I can drive storytelling, community impact, mentor creatives, and deliver cross-platform campaigns.

I am a multidisciplinary visual designer with 6+ years of experience creating strategic, impactful visuals for sports, nonprofits, and startups. I balance creative experimentation with clean design fundamentals and a strong focus on storytelling and community building.

As Director of Visual Design I led purpose-driven marketing campaigns and managed creative teams, interns, and external designers to deliver across print, digital, video, and merchandise. My work boosted the NBA G League RGV Vipers’ social engagement by 50% and increased organic following for the Valley Horned Frogs by 100% through bold campaign strategies.

I create full identities and branding suites (including Social Fest) and produce social, motion, and print deliverables with fast turnarounds. I’m proficient in Adobe Creative Suite, After Effects, Premiere, Framer, and web design, and have been recognized with Silver ADDY awards for my work.
