What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a design-focused role where I can collaborate, translate customer needs into creative solutions, and deliver polished visuals using Adobe. I want a fast-paced team that values initiative, communication, and client satisfaction.

I’m an innovative designer with a proven track record in the design industry, customer satisfaction, and consistently praised designs by clients and colleagues. I quickly understand complex design projects and implement solutions efficiently, while staying highly collaborative to create unique work with other professionals. I also earned honors with a 3.87 GPA, Dean's List recognition, and coursework spanning Photography, Fashion/Sewing/Styling, and Graphic design.

Professionally, I’ve supported customer-first growth through roles like Sales Representative at EuropeanWaxCenter and Stylist at Mejuri—where I used luxury product knowledge and fashion expertise to build jewelry stacks and create meaningful experiences for multiple customers at once. I’ve also strengthened my creative practice through design/photography work, including styling, photo editing, and designing a custom look book and garment during my Fashion Design/Photographer Internship in Milan.
