Available to hire
I am passionate about making graphic design my primary career focus, transitioning from supporting roles in my past work to dedicating myself fully to this creative field. Currently, I’m completing a Beginner Graphic Design course online, which complements my hands-on experience. I am a quick learner with a positive mindset, organized, enthusiastic, and self-motivated, thriving both independently and as part of a team.
With experience ranging from illustration and social media management to underwater photography and film production, I enjoy engaging with creative projects and collaborating across different media. I pride myself on my creativity and believe I can meet industry standards efficiently while delivering innovative visual communication.
