I am a creative graphic designer with a passion for visual communication, print and digital design, and brand management. I lead design projects from concept to completion, focusing on magazine layouts and design to strengthen brand identity and ensure design consistency across all channels. Proficient in Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Microsoft Office, I deliver print-ready and digital content across multiple platforms and collaborate closely with stakeholders to bring ideas to life. Off the clock, I became known as the Sandwich Bag Dad, drawing original art on my kids' sandwich bags for over nine years. The bags went viral twice, reminding me that playful, accessible design can spark real engagement. I bring that same energy to my client work, helping colleges, nonprofits, and businesses translate goals into visually compelling identities and experiences.
