What I'm looking for

I seek a creative role in packaging, motion graphics, or branding at a collaborative company where I can grow technically and contribute to impactful visual storytelling.

I am a driven graphic designer with a strong record in packaging, motion graphics, and branding, graduating from Drexel University with a 3.9 GPA.

I bring hands-on experience producing social media graphics, motion PSAs using Adobe After Effects, and packaging prototypes that maximize space and minimize material use.

My roles have included library service desk support, event vending, and a communications co-op where I used tools like Cision and Critical Mention and platforms such as Canva and Headliner to support media relations.

I balance creative craft with practical business skills—Procreate, Adobe Suite, Figma, POS/Square, and Microsoft Office—while focusing on clear visual storytelling and user engagement.
