About

I’m a senior freelance Graphic Designer and Presentation Specialist with 20+ years of experience supporting agencies, healthcare/pharmaceutical organizations, and corporate clients on a contract basis. I’m known for quickly integrating into teams, managing projects independently, and delivering polished, on-brand creative—even when timelines and budgets are tight.

My work spans creative direction, graphic design, and presentation design (PowerPoint, Keynote, and Google Slides), plus print and digital deliverables like branding, brochures, annual reports, magazines, posters, conference graphics, and editorial publications. I collaborate closely with editors, writers, photographers, producers, and vendors to take projects from concept through final execution, and I’m especially detail-oriented about typography, photography, and overall production quality.
