I’m a professional graphic designer with expertise in book, magazine, and stationery editing, vector work, and audiovisual. My experience spans graphic, advertising, and construction sectors, where I’ve developed strong people management, on-site training, and stands production skills, as well as working with international clients and suppliers, retail POP installations, filming and post‑production, plus English–Spanish translation. I work with the Adobe Creative Suite on Mac and PC, rely on Microsoft Office, and maintain a medium/advanced level of spoken and written English. I’m comfortable leading projects or collaborating in a team, I stay decisive under pressure, and I’m methodical in daily performance.
