What I'm looking for

I want a creative role producing multimedia content and social campaigns where I can apply design skills, contribute to brand storytelling, and grow in a collaborative, mission-driven team.

I am a graphic designer focused on creating engaging social and promotional content for brands and organizations, with hands-on experience across collegiate athletics, nonprofits, and retail. I combine design skill with strategic thinking to produce graphics, videos, and animations that align with brand guidelines and drive audience engagement.

I have interned with ESPN Milwaukee/Good Karma Brands, Carroll University Athletics, Lake Country Dockhounds, and Big Brothers Big Sisters America, where I designed promotional graphics, managed social platforms, and captured photo and video assets for events and campaigns. I am proficient in Adobe Creative Suite, Blender, Canva, and social media marketing tools, and I bring a strong work ethic demonstrated by academic honors and team leadership.

I seek opportunities where I can contribute creative direction, produce high-quality multimedia content, and help build a consistent, compelling online presence while continuing to learn industry trends and best practices.
