What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead visual design and event creative—from planning to on-site execution—working with teams and clients to create engaging brand experiences in a fast-paced, detail-driven environment.

I’m a professional Visual Designer based in Toronto, and I bring a strong mix of event planning support and visual communication to every project. From working closely with Senior Event Managers to designing creative assets and event communications, I focus on clarity, timelines, and seamless client experiences.

Across roles like DoubleTree by Hilton, Gaah Entertainment Inc., and event freelance work, I’ve coordinated production logistics, created story boarding and stage/prop support, and managed social media content to increase engagement. I’m energized by structured execution—using tools like Cvent, Microsoft Suite, and Adobe Creative Suite—to turn ideas into polished, high-impact events.
