I am a seasoned production artist with over 15 years of experience in packaging design and art production for regulated health and wellness products. I’ve built and managed artwork for Herbalife across 64 countries, collaborating with licensing, regulatory, creative, and print partners to ensure packaging meets local requirements while staying on brand. I design with production realities in mind, preparing print-ready files, setting production standards, and catching issues before they go to press—especially important when timelines are tight and mistakes are costly. Now freelancing, I continue to support teams through revisions, approvals, and final production, working primarily in Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, often in a remote environment while staying responsive and collaborative. I value doing things right the first time and pride myself on being a reliable contributor who helps packaging move forward smoothly. I thrive in fast-paced settings and enjoy translating complex regulatory needs into clean, accurate visuals while maintaining strong communication with stakeholders.
