Available to hire
I am a seasoned graphic designer and production artist with over 25 years of experience across packaging, advertising, catalogs, and branding for consumer goods, education, healthcare, and retail. I excel at turning concepts into print-ready files, coordinating with vendors, and delivering consistent, high-quality materials on tight deadlines.
I thrive in collaborative environments, working with creative teams and remote or in-house partners to ensure color accuracy, brand consistency, and effective communication throughout the production process.
