What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and collaboration, where I can contribute to innovative projects and grow my skills in a supportive environment.

I am a passionate Graphic and Motion Designer with a strong foundation in industry-standard tools such as Figma, After Effects, and SVGator. My journey in design has been fueled by a creative spirit and an unwavering drive to produce visually compelling content tailored for digital platforms. I excel in creating both static and motion graphics that elevate brand storytelling, ensuring best practices while continuously evolving through the integration of AI tools to enhance creativity, workflow, and quality.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated closely with product teams and digital marketing departments, gaining hands-on experience in responsive design and visual content creation. Notably, I led a full website rebrand that significantly boosted traffic, which included designing a new logo, color palette, typography, and SEO-optimized banners. My work has also involved producing animated logo assets and GIFs for social media campaigns, as well as creating promotional videos that highlight key features and engage audiences effectively.

My commitment to excellence is reflected in my ability to analyze performance metrics and optimize future content based on data-driven insights. I am dedicated to delivering high-quality designs that not only meet client expectations but also resonate with target audiences, driving engagement and brand loyalty.
