I’m a Graphic Design & Communications professional with 13+ years of experience
As a designer, my purpose is to present ideas in ways that are captivating and clear in their message. Part of that is achieving a design through creativity and strategy. The other part of it is born from intuition. A gut feeling. The moment that a design snaps into place and it just feels right.
This is where I excel. My strength lies in reading between the lines and marrying it with elements of design — composition, color, typography, photography, etc. — to bring the story to life.
