As an experienced graphic designer, I have had the privilege of working with diverse clients across various industries. My career includes agency experience, along with working in the sports marketing industry, for non-profits, a globally-known tool company and an industry-leading manufacturer, each providing me with valuable insights and expertise in design.
I thrive in managing and executing a wide range of projects while ensuring that each one adheres to budget, specifications, and deadlines. My passion for design and commitment to excellence allow me to consistently deliver visually compelling solutions that meet both client needs and strategic goals.
