Available to hire
I am a multidisciplinary designer and writer with a robust background in illustration, graphic design, video editing, and production design. I enjoy turning ideas into engaging visuals and clear narratives. I am also focused on LLM/ AI analysis, QA, and knowledge management.
Over the years I have delivered for Fortune 10 clients and major brands, trained teams, and adapted to rapidly changing project policies. I’m proficient with Adobe Creative Suite, Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, Figma, and a range of presentation and collaboration tools. I am excited to produce visual illustration and design work for clients and to also contribute to AI-powered organizations.
