Graphic designer and visual storyteller crafting memorable campaigns, illustrations, and photographic work.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a design-focused role where I can create promotional graphics and visual storytelling with Adobe tools, collaborate with creative teams, and keep growing through hands-on brand and web projects.

I’m an energetic graphic designer, photographer, illustrator, and storyteller trained in marketing and visual communications. I enjoy building cohesive visual experiences that connect people to art, culture, and ideas, using my strengths in the Adobe Creative Suite.

In arts management, I designed, created, and iterated promotional material for art and cultural events, posting work across multiple social platforms and websites. I also supported program evaluation through written critiques, and helped assemble installation art while ensuring safe, orderly gallery storage.

I bring an outward-looking, collaborative mindset from leadership and immersive experiences—representing the Greek-American community on a foreign policy trip, preparing discussion points and ideated solutions, and building an academic network during a cultural study program. I’m also an author of twenty-two well-regarded stories, and I’m excited to bring that same narrative drive into compelling brand and digital design.
