What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead brand and production efforts, improve workflows, mentor designers, and create accessible, scalable design systems in collaborative, mission-driven environments.

I am a senior graphic designer and creative leader with over 15 years delivering high-quality digital and print design for mission-driven organizations. I translate nuanced, information-dense content into clear, accessible, and emotionally grounded visual communications that build trust with diverse audiences.

My strengths include brand systems, typography, layout, visual hierarchy, and production—paired with a strong command of Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Figma, and PowerPoint. I own projects end-to-end, from brief clarification and concept development through final production, and I consistently deliver on-brand work with minimal revision cycles.

I have led teams and managed multi-channel campaigns, developed scalable templates, and introduced process improvements that reduced turnaround time and produced measurable cost savings. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and committed to inclusive, user-centered, and accessibility-informed design practices.

I seek to bring strategic creative stewardship, production expertise, and hands-on design craft to organizations that value clarity, accessibility, and efficient, scalable design systems.
