Skilled marketing designer with expertise in digital imaging and web design.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a marketing designer with a strong foundation in digital imaging and web design, dedicated to creating visually compelling and user-friendly digital experiences. My journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Marketing from Sullivan University, where I honed my skills in graphic design and web development. Over the years, I have worked with various clients, including law firms, to design modern websites that emphasize clean typography and intuitive navigation.
As the owner of A Merry Design, I successfully managed my own graphic design business, specializing in digital invitations and prints. My experience includes designing high-fidelity wireframes and interactive prototypes using Adobe XD, ensuring compliance with accessibility standards. I thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with content writers and branding specialists to translate complex messages into engaging visual narratives.
Throughout my career, I have remained committed to staying current with design trends and technologies. My role as a Web Designer II at Sullivan University allowed me to lead projects that enhanced institutional communication and engagement. I take pride in mentoring junior designers and ensuring that all digital properties align with branding standards and user experience principles.
