What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity, collaboration, and growth.

With over 8 years of experience as a Graphic Designer and Illustrator, I specialize in creating engaging visuals for both print and digital platforms. My expertise lies in utilizing the Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere Pro, to deliver high-quality designs that resonate with audiences. I am proficient in color correction, photo editing, and developing 2D concepts while adhering to brand guidelines.

In my current role as Head Graphic Designer at Upper Canada Soap, I lead design initiatives, ensuring alignment with brand identity and quality standards. I collaborate with cross-functional teams, including product managers and vendors, to drive product innovation and execute promotional campaigns. My ability to mentor junior designers and streamline workflows using project management tools like Asana and Wrike has consistently resulted in timely deliveries and high client satisfaction.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong capacity for collaboration and communication, working effectively with teams and external partners. I am bilingual in English and Korean, which enhances my ability to liaise with international stakeholders. I am passionate about design and committed to producing work that exceeds expectations.
