What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead AI-assisted visual design work—building clear workflows and prompt templates, delivering composition-driven visuals, and refining AI outputs with strong critique for consistent, usable creative results.

I’m a Senior Visual Designer with 25+ years of experience creating and evaluating high-impact visual work across illustration, branding, and digital design. I’m an expert in AI-assisted workflows, and I translate complex AI and design workflows into clear, structured instruction for real-world use.

I strengthen AI output through strong critique and refinement—using principles of composition, hierarchy, clarity, and aesthetics—to improve design quality and consistency. In recent roles, I develop AI-driven visual workflows and maintain a library of 35+ commercial prompt templates; I also produce confidential AI-assisted medical illustrations and photo composites under regulatory guidance, and retouch advertising imagery while maintaining strict brand and campaign effectiveness.
