About

I’m a graphic designer and art director with many years of experience in advertising, direct marketing and design. I have won several Gold IDMAs and completed a Digital Skills Academy program in Digital Marketing and Design, including UI/UX best practices. I created an interactive National Gallery mobile app for a college project using Fluid UI for wireframes and high-fidelity screens. I’m seeking work as a graphic designer in a promotion company or design agency.

I excel in leading creative teams, crafting brand identities, and delivering print, web, and mobile visuals. I bring hands-on experience in project management, client liaison, and strategy, backed by a track record of pitching and winning major assignments.
