I am a creative and results-driven Designer with 8+ years of experience in graphic design, user experience/product design, creative direction, and multimedia Art Direction. Throughout my career, I have successfully led strategic design initiatives and driven brand-building and award-winning designs. I excel at working with teams and am capable of handling creative tasks with little or no supervision while working within brand guidelines and creative briefs.

My expertise lies in graphic design, user experience design, and multimedia art direction. I have a strong understanding of design principles, color theory, typography, and layout composition. I am skilled in using Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, Canva, HTML, and CSS. I have a proven track record of creating visually appealing and user-friendly interfaces, as well as developing engaging assets such as icons, illustrations, and graphics.

I have experience in collaborating with cross-functional teams, including product managers, developers, and stakeholders. I have a keen eye for detail and can detect and rectify potential issues to ensure the highest quality of design. I am also an excellent storyteller and copywriter, able to convey complex ideas concisely and creatively.
