I’m a versatile designer and illustrator who’s worked across hospitality and healthcare, always balancing client needs with my own creative touch. I’m known for fast execution, strong graphic design fundamentals, and a consistent, high-quality visual output. In recent roles I helped build brands from the ground up—creating logo systems, illustration styles, and color frameworks—and supported marketing campaigns across direct mail and social media. I’ve also started experimenting with Claude Code, Gemini, and Nano Banana to help streamline workflows through tools like Figma plugins and generative imagery. Beyond that, I spend almost all my free time painting and am working on developing animations and a children's book of my own.
