Versatile design leader specializing in user-centered visual solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a versatile design leader with a fine arts foundation and over five years of experience in crafting high-impact, user-centered visual solutions across agency and SaaS environments. My expertise lies in designing modular systems, driving brand cohesion, and solving complex communication challenges through scalable, intuitive interfaces.
Currently, as a Senior Designer at Ingage, I have designed scalable, modular presentation templates used across 300+ interactive sales decks for enterprise clients, significantly improving brand consistency and streamlining client workflows. My collaborative approach has allowed me to work closely with customer success, marketing, and product teams to identify user pain points and translate needs into reusable design solutions, ultimately enhancing product visibility and supporting new user acquisition.
Previously, at Smiths Agency, I led end-to-end visual design for multi-channel ad campaigns, integrating strategic goals with high-converting visual storytelling. My work has contributed to elevated brand recognition for national clients, and I take pride in my ability to art direct photo and video shoots while ensuring cohesive brand narratives across digital, print, and social executions.
