I am a visual storyteller with a designer’s eye and a marketer’s mind. I curate and create cohesive branding by challenging the relationship between illustration and design. My artwork often takes an organic approach by combining different mediums into one complete story. Comfortable in fast-paced environments and fluent in Adobe Creative Suite, I thrive to unite communication, creativity, and purpose-driven design. I bring a unique blend of creativity and marketing insight that allows me to design with both aesthetic and strategic goals in mind. I am passionate about creating engaging, visually stimulating materials that connect with audiences and align with brand identities, especially in educational contexts and freelance branding projects.
