I am a marketing art generalist specializing in video editing and graphic design. I successfully deliver work across a variety of genres and platforms for many clients, including a successful Kickstarter campaign for Sim Bricks. I am a diligent and enthusiastic graphic designer with excellent project design abilities and creative thinking. I am able to multitask effectively, ensuring many graphic design projects are completed with accuracy, efficiency, and consistently meet deadlines. I work well both within a team or independently with equal levels of success. I have superb oral and written communication skills, along with a strong commitment to continuous learning. Currently, I am developing my own video game aiming for publication, and I am involved as co-creator, graphic designer, and stream host of the Game Academy Esports team while also creating content on Twitch and TikTok.
