What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a dynamic role where I can apply my creativity and visual design skills while supporting outreach and communication efforts. I want collaborative teamwork, clear goals, and opportunities to grow my design and animation impact.

I’m a dedicated visual communication designer and illustrator, currently studying at San Francisco State University. I bring effective communication, great visual techniques, and strong interpersonal skills to every project and team.

In my current roles, I’m building real-world graphic design experience as a graphic designer intern and as an animation team lead for a graphic design group at SFSU. I also support community impact through outreach and education work, coordinating activities and representing programs at community events.

I’m also developing UX-focused capability through Google UX Design (Coursera). I’m eager to apply my creativity, organizational talents, and bilingual communication to create engaging visuals and clear messaging in a dynamic job.
