What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an entry-level role in visual communication where I can design brand-forward visuals, UI/UX experiences, and motion work—using Adobe tools and AI thoughtfully to turn concepts into engaging, user-centered outcomes.

I’m a Visual Communication Design student building design work across branding, layout, illustration, photography, and motion. I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts at California Polytechnic University, Pomona (Expected graduation: Spring 2027).

I develop projects end-to-end, from concept and user-centered layout systems to interactive and motion-based storytelling. Through Mangrum Studio, I designed and developed a personal portfolio site and created visual branding and layout using user-centered design principles.

I also explore 3D form and light using wire, cardboard, acrylic plexiglass, and mixed media, and I model and render in Rhino 3D. I integrate AI tools to support concept development, mood boards, creative ideation, and content generation, including Adobe Firefly, while staying focused on clear visual communication.
