DESIGNER

With over 10 years experience as a graphic designer and illustrator, I have developed particular expertise in branding, event promotion, and print production. I’m deeply motivated to solve problems and strive to find the most satisfying solution for everyone involved. Thanks to my attentive and intuitive nature I’m adept at helping clients identify and clarify their needs, then creating work that exceeds expectations. My work is well thought out, connects with audiences, and resonates on multiple levels. I learn quickly, am highly adaptable, and I love making things look good! ​
