Multi-Media Designer
Summary
I’m a Multi-Media Designer and Talented Creative
I believe in design as a tool for communication—and I’m passionate about using my skills to build thoughtful, value-driven work that connects people to ourselves, one another, and the earth.
Having worked as a professional in the marketing and media field for over a decade, I’ve stepped away from quantity over quality. I believe in being thoughtful in our promotions and intentional with the stories we choose to share and in the spaces we are populating.
I love that I get to help others in a creative way and craft friendly, precise, digestible content. I’ve worked across sectors—non-profits, government, and small Mom & Pops and have collaborated with teams to bring creative projects and companies to life in otherwise unknown ways.
I’m highly skilled in the Adobe Creative Suite, project management, and accessible communication practices. I also have experience managing budgets, media buys, and vendor relationships to support strategic communications and marketing efforts. I love research and development and putting together a strong game plan to support my team.
I’m quite the tech interested, gear inspired creative and am generally a go-to in office and family settings when it comes to anything with a battery.
I love street wear, skateboarding, sports, R&B and art.
