What I'm looking for
As a passionate Junior Art Director, I thrive on creating compelling visual narratives that resonate with audiences. My experience at Montecito Bank & Trust has honed my skills in conducting competitive analyses and implementing design strategies that enhance user experience. I take pride in my ability to revamp ad designs and streamline approval processes, ensuring timely execution of projects that boost brand visibility.
In addition to my role at MB&T, I lead design initiatives for Acts2fellowship, where I collaborate with team members to refine UI/UX for our digital platforms. My work has resulted in significant engagement, with campaigns generating over 13.2K views. I also have a strong foundation in industrial design from my capstone project at SONOS, where I developed user-centered concepts and promotional content that effectively communicated product features.
