About

Freelance graphic designer and illustrator focused on visual communication, and production-ready design for print, retail, and digital touchpoints. I build cohesive brand experiences through thoughtful typography, color, illustration, and clear project management from proposal to delivery.

I collaborate closely with clients and cross-functional teams, translating feedback into polished assets such as logos, signage, marketing collateral, and custom artwork. I also bring an educator’s mindset—supporting iterative problem solving, prototyping, and clear organization to keep projects moving smoothly from idea to final execution.

I have strong digital and traditional illustration skills, strong graphic design fundamentals and love creating authentic, original design work with meaning and impact.
