What I'm looking for

I'm seeking part-time job opportunities where I can contribute artwork, visual content, social media support, communication, and customer-focused creative work.

I create original artwork, merchandise, and social media content designed to connect with audiences.

As a Social Media & Communications Assistant through Federal Work Study, I develop captions, visuals, weekly newsletters, and event photography while maintaining a consistent school brand voice.

Through freelance commissions, art markets, and online selling, I design marketable merchandise, manage client feedback and timelines, and track budgets, sales, and profits. I also work with shop owners to deliver and advertise products.

I'm pursuing a BFA in Fine Arts with a Communication Arts focus at Virginia Commonwealth University, and I contribute illustration work to the Commonwealth Times.
