What I'm looking for

I am seeking a remote role that allows me to lead creative projects and innovate in design.

As a Creative Director and Graphic Designer, I have a strong background in brand strategy, visual storytelling, and digital marketing. My journey began with a BFA in Graphic Design, and since then, I have honed my skills in both print and digital media. I founded Salve Arts & Design, a creative consultancy that provides branding, design, and marketing services to a diverse range of clients, from international institutions to small businesses. My focus is on delivering compelling designs that elevate brand identity and engage audiences effectively.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led multiple brand identity projects and marketing strategies, ensuring brand consistency across all platforms. My role as a Media Specialist and Graphic Artist at One Challenge International allowed me to manage print design and spearhead social media strategies, significantly growing brand reach and engagement. I am passionate about crafting innovative solutions that merge aesthetics with strategic goals, and I thrive in environments where I can lead creative teams to achieve exceptional results.
