What I'm looking for

I’m looking for fully remote work where creative strategy and operational precision meet—leading digital production, brand identity, and workflow execution across cross-functional teams with strong compliance and quality standards.

I’m a Creative Operations & Brand Designer with 9+ years delivering high-impact digital and multimedia content across government, corporate, and agency environments. I streamline production workflows, manage cross-functional stakeholders, and execute strategic visual communication under high-compliance standards, including remote collaboration across time zones.

Most recently, I led digital production for public diplomacy campaigns at the U.S. Mission to South Africa, earning an “Excellence Award” within my first 3 months and managing the mission website while serving as Interim Social Media Manager. Since founding Kreative Dose Collective in 2020, I lead end-to-end branding and design projects—developing logos, visual identities, brand guidelines, and marketing collateral—while maintaining consistent, print-ready and digital-ready deliverables.
