What I'm looking for

I seek junior design roles where I can apply web, UX, and motion skills in collaborative teams focused on accessibility, user engagement, mentorship, and growth.

I am a graphic design student at Savannah College of Art and Design (expected May 2027) with hands-on experience designing promotional materials, social graphics, and maintaining website layouts for community organizations. I create accessible, mobile-responsive visuals that align branding and outreach goals.

I have been recognized with 1st Place in UX Design (Alabama FBLA 2023) and earned Adobe Certified Professional in Visual Design using Photoshop (2024). I collaborate with stakeholders to translate service themes into effective visual assets and apply UX research, wireframing, and usability testing to improve digital experiences.
