What I'm looking for

I'm looking for collaborative work where design, marketing, and innovation come together to create impactful brand experiences, while I contribute creative execution and strategic thinking across digital campaigns.

I create brand identities, marketing assets, and digital experiences that connect businesses with their audiences. My work combines visual design, creative strategy, and a user-centered approach.

At Northvista Marketing, I support healthcare brands and companies across multiple US industries with branding, digital campaigns, social media, Meta Ads, email marketing, SEO support, and branded communications. I work across fast-moving agency projects while adapting to distinct brand voices and campaign goals.

I've also created marketing visuals and social content at Solvo, led brand creation and community-focused design at Promanager, and worked independently on web layouts, mockups, ads, catalogues, and stationery. As a hyperrealist artist and designer, I bring a strong eye for composition, visual storytelling, and functionality.
