Available to hire
I am a skilled and versatile designer who specializes in graphic and textile design, with hands-on experience turning concepts into production-ready prints and patterns for hospitality, fashion, and home décor. I thrive on collaborating with cross-functional teams and translating trends into artwork that fits production workflows.
I love researching color and pattern trends, building mood boards and board presentations, and delivering print-ready graphics and documentation for global clients. I’m detail-oriented, creative, and focused on producing assets that help brands tell their story efficiently and beautifully.
