About

I’m a creative UX and graphic designer with 10+ years of experience delivering branding, digital product design, and public-sector communication campaigns. I’ve led design teams, collaborated closely with engineers and stakeholders, and translated complex goals into user-centered solutions that look strong and work even better.

From responsive UX graphics and prototypes to nationwide editorial and campaign design, I enjoy creating clear, engaging experiences across multiple devices and formats. I also bring a practical, business-minded approach—supported by strong communication skills, proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud and Figma, and a background that includes government and retail environments.
