Creating meaningful identities, campaigns, and digital solutions is my focus.

I’m a strong believer in hard work and continuous learning, which has led me throughout my career and attracted me to others. Throughout my career, I’ve delivered a variety of design work related to organizational training, internal communications, and brand marketing. In my time, I’ve gained a deep understanding of how design and marketing contribute to engagement, communication, and organizational success. A major focus of my work has been on the importance of purposeful design systems, market and brand strategies to continuously refine brands and the communities they serve.

I believe design thinking is a core element in shaping human behavior, values, connections, and aesthetics. My philosophy is that if customers can’t connect with a brand emotionally, it can hinder business performance. That’s why the right design, effective strategies, and marketing can solve such challenges. In my career, I’ve worked to promote a sense of purpose through design and strategies focused on connection and storytelling. I continue to refine my ability to develop impactful branding, digital assets, and experiential marketing campaigns, always with an emphasis on connection and storytelling. I see design and marketing as a tool to create a bridge between brands and consumers.

My expertise lies in creating visual narratives, ensuring that both brand and marketing strategies align with strategic objectives. Among my skill sets are brand strategy, logo design, branding identity, print and digital publication, and a working knowledge of WordPress.

Core Competencies

Visual Identity

Designing and maintaining a consistent image and personality for a brand is one of my key strengths. Throughout my work process, I make an effort to understand the brand’s principles, purpose, and intended audience. This is followed by crafting visual and verbal elements that effectively communicate those qualities to the intended audience.

Communications & Brand Promotion

Throughout my experience, I’ve helped produce newsletters, blog posts and brand-related materials that utilize visual elements. As a designer, I work to understand the messaging and target audience deeply to make the material more understandable and retainable.

Publications

Designing layouts and visual elements for print publications is one of my strengths. I work closely with subject matter experts and other stakeholders to ensure that the design reflects the content and meets the specific needs.
