Available to hire
Hi, I’m Sesaleigh A. Whitaker, a visual artist with hands-on experience in illustration, social media marketing, and graphic design. My training in the Visual Arts program and hands-on project work have equipped me with a strong eye for detail and a collaborative mindset.
I’ve contributed to classroom and community programs, managed library and youth activities, and produced digital ads and presentations using tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, Canva, and PowerPoint. I’m excited to bring my design sensibility and communication skills to a progressive organization that values creativity and collaboration.
