What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a highly creative and detail-oriented Graphic Designer with a strong focus on both digital and print media. My passion lies in crafting visually compelling designs that not only strengthen brand identity but also enhance user engagement. With expertise in website optimization, multimedia content creation, and project management, I have a proven ability to lead creative teams and execute high-impact marketing campaigns.

In my recent role as a Digital Marketer & Designer, I provided consultation and designed logos and brand identities for small businesses. I created engaging social media and marketing content, optimized Shopify websites, and integrated social media platforms to enhance engagement and conversion rates. My previous experience as a Marketing Manager at Michelle Footwear allowed me to spearhead the creative direction for various marketing materials, resulting in a significant increase in sales and audience engagement.
