I’m a multidisciplinary designer with over a decade of experience blending motion & digital design and visual storytelling to create work that resonates with diverse audiences. My passion is in crafting brand-aligned visuals that not only look great but also communicate a clear message. I thrive on collaboration—bouncing ideas around with teams and turning them into accessible, impactful content. As a self-starter who values independence, I’m just as comfortable taking a strategic, practical approach as I am working through ideas in creative, collaborative sessions. Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite, I’m always excited to explore new tools and techniques to deliver the best possible outcome for every project. For me, design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about creating work that connects & inspires people.
