What I'm looking for

I seek creative roles where I can produce character-focused illustration and brand graphics, collaborate on visual projects, and grow as a designer in a supportive, design-driven environment.

I am an artist and graphic designer with a creative outlook and a strong eye for detail, focused on character design and illustration. I create commissioned illustrations and visual assets for branding, including logos, business cards, and labels.

I have practical experience producing commissioned work since 2022 while working in customer service, and I hold a B.A. in Studio Art with a concentration in Graphic Design from Rhode Island College. I have been recognized academically with multiple semesters on the Dean's List and was a recipient of the RIC Art Department Talent Awards in 2024.

I am primarily skilled in Adobe Photoshop and also proficient with Adobe Illustrator and InDesign, and I bring a reliable, creative approach to visual projects that require both concept-driven illustration and polished graphic design deliverables.
