I'm a graphic design graduate from Auckland University of Technology with two years of freelance experience across brand identity, editorial design, layout design, and magazine spreads. Working independently has sharpened both my technical fluency in Adobe Creative Suite and my ability to manage projects end-to-end, from concept through final delivery. I'm driven by a genuine passion for visual communication and creative problem-solving, and I'm always looking to take on new design challenges, explore fresh ideas and perspectives, and grow as a designer. I'm now looking to bring that experience and curiosity into a collaborative team setting, where I can contribute strong design thinking to create impactful visual solutions.
