What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity, collaboration, and social impact.

I am a strategic and creative digital communications specialist with over five years of experience in arts marketing, visual storytelling, campaign planning, and audience engagement. My expertise lies in delivering impactful campaigns for cause-led projects, art institutions, and public-facing organizations. I have a proven track record of developing multimedia content and digital strategies that engage diverse audiences, drive visibility, and influence conversations—particularly around social justice and cultural identity.

Throughout my career, I have worked as a graphic designer for various organizations, including the City of Portsmouth College and Clipper Ventures, where I created tailored marketing materials such as brochures, flyers, and digital advertisements. My freelance work has allowed me to collaborate with charities and independent artists, delivering social media campaigns and digital storytelling that resonate with target audiences. I am passionate about using my skills to support artist-run initiatives and advocate for community engagement.

With a strong foundation in digital marketing and visual design, I am committed to creating accessible and engaging content that attracts diverse audiences. I thrive in dynamic environments and am eager to contribute my skills to innovative projects that promote cultural identity and social justice.
