What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative team that values technical precision and creative fun, where I can lead production-quality design, brand work, and mentor others while doing meaningful, well-crafted creative work.

I am a multidisciplinary designer with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design and a decade of leadership experience from service in the Army National Guard. My background spans design, production, cybersecurity consulting, and hands-on fabrication, giving me a unique blend of creative and technical skills.

As Lead Designer & Digital Production Manager, I oversaw high-volume print production, pre-flighting, and managed Canon ImagePress systems and Fiery workflows to deliver precise, print-ready materials. I also restored legacy artwork and handled final QA to ensure flawless output.

In freelance and agency roles I designed brand identities and social ecosystems for clients including FOX Noticias, mentored print teams, and owned project lifecycles from concept to delivery. At Secure Halo I translated NIST/CIS-based cybersecurity assessments into executive-ready visual reports and produced motion graphics and animated logos.

I am seeking a team that values technical precision and creative play, where I can apply production expertise, brand strategy, and light development skills to build excellent work and enjoy the process of creating together.
