What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply creative design and photography skills, collaborate with clients, and deliver polished visual work in a supportive, hands-on environment.

I am a multidisciplinary creative with experience in sculpture design, logo creation, photography, and food service. I run Flamestroke Creations, overseeing design, production, photography, and social advertising to bring sculptural pieces from concept to sale.

My hands-on roles in retail and food service have strengthened my customer-facing skills, time management, and adherence to safety standards, supported by a current Food Handler Certification.

I have 6–10 years of graphic design experience and 3–5 years of photography practice, complemented by skills in photo and video editing, color theory, layout, and proofreading. I have completed commission work involving research, client collaboration, and iterative design.

I am organized, communicative, and driven to deliver polished visual work and excellent customer experiences, whether designing a brand mark, photographing finished pieces, or serving customers in-store.
