What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative role combining visual design and data visualization where I can drive user-centered solutions, mentor junior staff, and contribute to measurable impact.

I am a creative graphic designer with experience in UI/UX, data visualization, and marketing communications. I combine visual design skills with analytical thinking to translate complex information into clear, actionable visuals and engaging content.

In previous roles I have led consulting projects, created Power BI reports, produced proposal visuals, and supervised junior analysts—delivering solutions that aligned with leadership priorities.

I have created social campaigns, motion and static designs, illustrations, and branded collateral across agency and nonprofit projects, and I thrive on collaborative work that balances aesthetics with measurable impact.
