What I'm looking for

I am looking for a creative environment that values innovation and collaboration, where I can contribute to impactful projects and grow my skills in digital marketing and design.

As a recent graduate from the University of California, Irvine, with a Bachelor's degree in Art and a minor in Digital Arts, I have developed a strong foundation in design principles and digital marketing. My academic achievements, including graduating cum laude and being a member of Phi Beta Kappa, reflect my dedication to excellence in my field.

In my current role as a Remote Graphic Designer for Global Intern Collaborative, I have successfully designed over 20 marketing materials that have significantly increased engagement rates. My experience as a Social Media Assistant at D.E.S.I. allowed me to enhance online presence and grow follower engagement through strategic content creation and marketing campaigns. I thrive in collaborative environments and am passionate about using my design skills to tell compelling stories.
