Visual Designer
Driven by purpose and caffeine, I'm a results-oriented creative with a knack for arriving early or fashionably late, but always with impact. My foundation in graphic design, particularly within the non-profit sector, has allowed me to use my visual storytelling to deepen community engagement and amplify important causes. Now, I'm channeling that experience into a focused pursuit of visual design, eager to craft digital experiences that connect, captivate, and convert. Resilient, hardworking, and unafraid to challenge conventions, I bring heart, humor, and determination to every project.Work Experience
