What I'm looking for

I'm looking for fully remote, project-based contract work where I can design end-to-end product, brand, and editorial systems, collaborate asynchronously, and turn documented design decisions into precise implementation.

At GradLink AI, I designed gradlink.app end-to-end in Figma, from the marketing site to key platform pages, and worked with the technical lead on a Next.js implementation. I also built the product’s typographic and color system and carried it across web, pitch, print, and event materials.

As a Top Rated Upwork freelancer with a 100% Job Success Score, I deliver brand identity, pitch design, and social systems for international clients. I build reusable Figma and Canva templates that help non-designers maintain consistent type, grids, and color rules.

I bring product, visual, and editorial design together through projects including a 100-page print magazine, PulseAI’s merchant analytics dashboard, and a commercial LinkedIn carousel template system. My front-end vocabulary in React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Next.js helps me make design-to-code handoffs precise.
