About

I am an award-winning Senior Packaging Designer with 10+ years in graphic design and 5+ years specializing in end-to-end packaging artwork for premium FMCG, retail, health & wellness, beauty, spirits, and consumer brands. I build cohesive brand visual systems that translate strategy and consumer insights into shelf-ready, production-ready designs, with deep knowledge of print production, materials, finishing techniques, and sustainable packaging practices.

I excel at managing multiple projects under tight deadlines in high-volume retail environments, presenting clear creative rationale to clients and internal stakeholders. I routinely produce high-fidelity 3D/CGI renders for approval workflows and e-commerce content, and I thrive in agency and in-house settings across multi-SKU portfolios in international English-first workflows.
