Available to hire
I am a graphic and multimedia designer and photographer with 15 years of progressive experience in a fast paced, high-volume environment. I manage multiple projects simultaneously with effective workload prioritization and deliver prompt, courteous service while maintaining confidentiality.
My strengths include color theory, composition, and visual storytelling across print, digital media, and signage. I excel at creating engaging graphics for infographics, posters, banners, and multifaceted campaigns, and I am comfortable with large-format printing, photo editing, and web assets.
