Available to hire
I’m a versatile and flexible creative designer with a well-rounded technical skillset. I’m detail-focused and cool under pressure with a consistent and meticulous approach to visual storytelling.
I entered the advertising business in 2003, using my skills in creative retouching and print knowledge to build my career. In 2008, I moved into packaging design and branding. Since 2017, I’ve been working as an independent designer.
