I am an experienced Graphic Designer and Art Director with over 30 years of expertise in packaging design, branding, and 3D product development. I specialize in box/package design for health & beauty, food, toys, and licensed consumer products, with a strong focus on delivering eco-conscious, print-ready packaging from concept through to production. Passionate about storytelling through design, I love supporting purpose-driven brands and working closely with cross-functional teams, printers, and international clients. Having worked with a variety of well-known clients such as Disney, Warner Bros., and DC Comics, I bring a wealth of experience in both freelance and full-time roles. My skill set includes Adobe Creative Suite, digital sculpting with ZBrush, and print production knowledge. I am adaptable, collaborative, and always eager to learn, currently expanding my proficiency with InDesign to enhance my design capabilities.
