I am a production-focused designer with extensive experience in consumer goods, print production, and color management. I translate concepts into press-ready and high-fidelity physical mock-ups for major retail programs, ensuring accuracy and efficiency from concept through print. I thrive in fast-paced, multi-SKU environments, mentor peers, and drive process improvements that reduce rework and cost. I excel at UV inkjet prototyping, color management, and creating training materials that uplift teams.
