I am a graphic designer and marketing professional with experience creating brand identities, digital marketing assets, and visual content across a variety of industries. As a graduate of the University of Waterloo's Arts and Business program, I combine creative design skills with a strong understanding of branding, audience engagement, and visual storytelling. My experience includes developing social media campaigns, marketing materials, presentations, and branded content using Adobe Creative Suite and Canva. I am particularly drawn to projects that blend thoughtful design with culture and community. Inspired by minimalist, detail-oriented aesthetics, I enjoy creating visual identities that feel authentic, memorable, and purposeful. I am excited by the opportunity to contribute to a brand that brings together coffee, music, and design, and I look forward to collaborating on a distinctive visual direction that resonates with modern audiences.
