Hi! I’m a digital design and media artist with a passion for illustration, branding, and storytelling through animation. I enjoy bringing characters to life, shaping cohesive brand identities, and crafting visuals that work across print, social, and digital spaces. I’m always exploring new techniques and collaborating with teams to turn concepts into engaging, practical design solutions. Recently graduated from Wilkes University, I collaborate on character design, web design, and promotional materials, balancing creativity with reliable delivery and clear communication. I love turning ideas into polished visuals and helping brands tell their story through thoughtful design.
