I'm a graphic designer with a BFA in Graphic Design from the Rochester Institute of Technology, where I studied branding, packaging, typography, print, and letterpress techniques. I enjoy turning ideas into cohesive visual identities and packaging experiences that communicate clearly and stand out. Throughout my freelance and in-house roles, I’ve collaborated with clients and teams to deliver branding, marketing collateral, event photography, and digital design. I’m fluent in conversational Spanish, detail-oriented, and organized, with a proactive approach to learning new tools and processes.
