What I'm looking for

I’m looking for opportunities to apply creative, technical, and leadership skills in a professional design environment—where I can produce clear, high-quality visual work and help others learn Adobe Creative Cloud workflows through thoughtful curriculum and instruction.

I’m an Adobe Specialist, graphic designer, and computer graphic design educator with 5+ years of hands-on experience using Adobe Creative Cloud, developing curriculum, and creating engaging visual content across print and digital platforms. I build clear, accurate instructional examples, including screen-recorded demonstrations of Adobe Creative Cloud workflows, so learners can confidently apply advanced design concepts.

In my current roles, I develop district-wide computer graphic design curriculum (CGD 1–2, 3–4, and 5–6) and manage long-term planning, curriculum pacing, and instructional alignment. Alongside teaching branding, illustration, animation, and digital media workflows, I design project-based learning experiences that strengthen communication, design thinking, and creative problem solving—while also delivering high-quality freelance branding and digital asset work for clients.
