Experienced Graphic Designer with 19+ years of delivering impactful design solutions across print, digital, and brand systems. I specialize in art direction, branding, and project management—with a passion for translating ideas into visually compelling, goal-driven results.
Known as a reliable creative partner and collaborative team player, I bring consistency, insight, and adaptability to every project. I’m committed to continuous growth, staying current with design trends and evolving tools to keep my work sharp and effective.
While I didn’t follow a traditional academic path, my experience spans agencies, in-house teams, and freelance roles—equipping me with a practical, solutions-first mindset. I’m excited to contribute to a dynamic creative team where visual design meets strategic impact.
