ABOUT
The word "CAN'T" is NOT in my dictionary!
Creative, bold, and solution-driven, I bring a unique energy to every project I touch—combining technical skill with a fearless sense of individuality. I thrive in fast-paced environments where challenges spark innovation, and I’m always ready to roll up my sleeves, figure things out, and get it done. While I’m confident working independently, I’m equally energized by collaboration—brainstorming, sharing ideas, and building off my teammates’ strengths to create impactful results. Whether I’m designing in Adobe Creative Suite or pushing limits on a mountain trail, I approach everything with passion, grit, and a healthy dose of eccentricity.
I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from The Art Institute of Washington in Arlington, VA, along with a Web Design Certificate from MiraCosta College in Oceanside, CA. Over the course of my career, I’ve gained extensive experience designing advertising and marketing materials such as brochures, logos, posters, product packaging, websites, magazines, mailers, books and booklets, photography, social media campaigns, and email designs. My expertise and professional background also qualify me as a CTE Specialized Educator, certifying me to teach Graphic Design for grades 9–12 and Adult Education.
I am proficient in industry-standard tools including Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Lightroom, WIX, Shopify, WordPress, Canva, and Klaviyo. I take pride in creating thoughtful, effective design solutions that align with client goals while maintaining a strong visual impact.
As a designer, I am creative, reliable, and adaptable—able to excel both independently and in collaborative team settings. I work well with clients and colleagues alike, and I consider myself a strong communicator, presenter, and listener. Looking ahead, my goal is to continue growing as a designer while leveraging my creativity, knowledge, and people skills to deliver meaningful results and contribute to my employer’s success.
