What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a design role where I can build cohesive brand identities and create digital, print, and experiential assets—especially for wellness, fashion, and hospitality—while strengthening customer engagement through visual storytelling.

I’m a creative, detail-oriented designer with hands-on experience in branding, social media, and hospitality marketing. I bring a strong eye for aesthetics, consistency, and building cohesive brand identities across digital, print, retail, and event environments.

In my roles including Graphic Designer (Intern) and Social Media Intern, I designed branded digital and print assets, supported social media campaign development, and contributed to creative concepts and visual identity systems. I also worked closely on layout design, typography, and ensuring brand consistency across marketing initiatives.

Right now, I’m studying marketing and continuing to deepen my graphic design foundation through Fresh Hospitality LLC, where I design marketing and branding materials for restaurant concepts, support website visuals and digital content, and help maintain a cohesive brand identity across platforms. I’m especially passionate about design within wellness, fashion, and experiential spaces, using visual storytelling to strengthen customer engagement.
