What I'm looking for

I seek a creative environment that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for growth.

As a dedicated freelance designer, I founded my own design firm, Moon.Wtr, in October 2024, where I specialize in graphic and motion design. My journey in the creative industry began in 2016 as a Graphic Designer at Paycor, where I transitioned into video production and motion design. My experience spans across various roles, allowing me to develop a unique skill set that combines creativity with technical expertise.

During my tenure at Paycor, I collaborated closely with Vimeo for content storage and live streaming needs, enhancing our team's ability to deliver engaging video content. My commitment to continuous improvement in video production has resulted in more impactful and effective media. Prior to this, I honed my skills at Starbucks, where I advanced from a Barista to a Shift Supervisor and Coffee Master, showcasing my ability to lead and transform complex concepts into memorable experiences.
