What I'm looking for

I seek design or front-end roles where I can blend visual design and coding, contribute to user-focused projects, grow technical skills, and work in collaborative, creative teams.

I am a designer with formal training in software engineering and a strong focus on visual and web design, combining front-end development with Adobe creative tools. I completed a Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering that included coursework and projects using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, C#, and .NET.

My internships reinforced practical skills: I built and updated WordPress pages, fixed UI components with Bootstrap 5 on a Movie Database project, and created print and digital assets using Adobe Creative Suite, CorelDRAW, and Canva. I also produced and edited photos and videos for social media campaigns.

I take a hands-on approach to design, having completed projects in Adobe Photoshop, Animate, and Illustrator, and having experience preparing print-ready materials and templates. I enjoy integrating visual design with front-end implementation to deliver cohesive user experiences.

I am organized, community-minded, and experienced working across small teams and client projects, with extracurricular commitment to animal care and volunteer event support that reflects my collaborative and responsible work ethic.
