I am a production-focused graphic artist with extensive experience in prepress, advertising, and cross-functional collaboration. I’ve partnered with national and global brands to prepare artwork for print and digital media, lead discussions, and ensure customer needs are met on time and with accuracy. I thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy turning complex briefs into clear, compelling visuals. I bring strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and a working knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, and Swift. I’m always eager to learn new tools and techniques, collaborate with teammates, and deliver high-quality designs that align with client goals.
