I’m an educator and program coordinator who recently completed my Master’s in Visual Communication Design, and I currently manage a digital art storefront while teaching and creating visual assets. I focus on turning strong visual branding and design strategy into practical, high-quality deliverables—whether that’s building high-resolution product graphics, creating seamless digital patterns, or coordinating end-to-end e-commerce workflows. I enjoy using data and creativity together: I run SEO and shop analytics to improve product performance and audience reach, and I bring that same mix of structure and imagination to my teaching and program work. Throughout my roles—from art instruction to digital content and large-scale community initiatives—I’ve standardized brand identity, built curriculum that meets standards, and collaborated with stakeholders to deliver engaging experiences with measurable impact.
