What I'm looking for

I seek a creative role where I can craft visual communications, lead design projects, and collaborate with teams to deliver high-quality marketing and internal communication materials while continuing to grow my design and motion skills.

I am a results-driven graphic designer with extensive experience creating visual design, illustration, and layout for advertising, print, and web media. I have worked across corporate and agency environments delivering high-quality communication materials.

At Stolt Nielsen I produced social media animations, PowerPoint presentations, and internal communications including emailers, newsletters, and video presentations. At Conduent I served as a senior marketing designer producing microsites, presentations, video messages, event collaterals, brochures, and corporate documents.

Earlier roles include corporate communications at Aboitiz Equity Ventures where I developed email announcements, event materials, photo coverage, CEO messages, and social posts, and agency work creating print ads, billboards, and pitch materials. I consistently meet deadlines and manage multiple projects under pressure.

I bring strong technical skills in Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, Figma, and PowerPoint, coupled with a creative mindset and commitment to clear, effective visual communication. I am eager to contribute design leadership and hands-on execution to a collaborative team.
