What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can own brand and digital visuals end-to-end—logos, guidelines, packaging, and editorial design—while collaborating closely with designers and production to deliver polished, print-ready results.

I’m a brand designer and digital illustrator focused on full visual systems—from logo design and brand guidelines to web design, packaging, iconography, and editorial layouts. I work with graphic and vector illustration to create cohesive, production-ready brand assets.

Since starting my freelance work, I’ve supported projects like editorial and promotional design, including catalog formatting and social media/web content. In recent roles, I’ve delivered design in Adobe Creative Suite, built workflows with Figma and Wix Studio, and handled print production duties, motion/video editing, and general print preparation.
