What I'm looking for

I seek collaborative roles creating brand-forward print and digital materials, with opportunities to lead projects, mentor designers, and manage end-to-end production workflows.

I am a typography enthusiast and graphic designer with 3+ years crafting marketing visuals for university departments and independent clients, consistently maintaining brand integrity across print and digital channels. I collaborate closely with marketing specialists, copywriters, and social teams, mentor junior designers, and manage projects from concept through final production.

My work spans branding, print, package, and digital design using Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and Canva; I am recognized for creative leadership, attention to detail, and reliable file organization and production workflows that ensure timely, high-quality deliverables.
