I’m a creative and detail-oriented illustrator and designer with a strong foundation in Adobe Creative Suite and two years of experience in freelance and commissioned design work. I specialize in artwork for posters, packaging, and branding, and have a keen eye for layout and typography. I am eager to contribute to a collaborative design team while gaining hands-on experience in commercial product development. When I’m not working, I enjoy poster design, music, gaming, film, and pop culture merchandise.
