What I'm looking for

I seek creative leadership roles where I can direct visual strategy, mentor designers, and deliver brand-driven campaigns in collaborative, growth-oriented teams.

I am an experienced Art Director and Graphic Designer with over eight years crafting branding, digital advertising, packaging, and print collateral. I lead teams and manage projects end-to-end, guiding visual strategy from concept through execution while ensuring high-quality design outcomes.

My background spans senior roles at creative agencies and ongoing freelance work, where I deliver user-focused design, creative direction, and hands-on production using industry-standard tools. I thrive on collaborative environments and consistently drive projects that strengthen brand identity and engage audiences.
