Hi, I’m Tyra! I’m a graphic designer with 3+ years of experience in the advertising industry. My skill set spans social media content creation, 2D design, and video creation (to name a few), allowing me to bring ideas to life across a range of platforms. My design style tends to lean more towards clean and functional, but I’m always looking for opportunities to experiment and push my creative boundaries. Versatility is at the heart of how I work. When I’m not designing, you’ll find me binge-watching a TV series, exercising, or listening to the same five songs on repeat.
