I am a versatile and concept-driven Creative Designer with 5+ years of experience delivering high-impact work across branding, digital design, social media, motion graphics, and photography. I lead creative direction, manage multi-client workloads, and produce consistent, on-brand content across print and digital platforms. I have experience across fintech, insurance, real estate, mobility, and NGOs, and I am proficient in the full Adobe Creative Suite alongside AI-powered design tools, with a sharp eye for typography, layout, color, and visual storytelling. I’m equally comfortable working independently or as part of a team, guiding projects from initial concept through to final production. Across my career I’ve crafted brand identities, social content, promotional videos, and campaigns that boost engagement and brand visibility while maintaining a cohesive look and voice across channels.
