About
With over 20 years of experience in design and brand management, I bring a blend of creativity and strategic insight to every project. My expertise spans graphic design, UX design, illustration, and advertising and marketing design, with a focus on producing visuals that resonate and deliver clear, impactful messages. From compelling logos to full-scale marketing campaigns and engaging user experiences, I’m skilled in addressing a wide range of print and digital needs. My approach ensures each design meets client goals, aligns with industry trends, and enhances user interaction, whether for advertising, marketing, or broader creative needs.
As a Senior Creative Designer, I lead teams to produce innovative, high-quality visual solutions that align with client goals. My approach combines creative vision with practical project management to ensure timely delivery and effective execution. I work closely with clients to understand their vision, delivering tailored solutions across both print and digital platforms.
I am proficient in Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, Microsoft 360, and Procreate, with skills in sound design, motion graphics, animation, and web-building applications. Well-versed in generative design and AI tools, I stay current with industry trends, integrating cutting-edge technologies and user-centered best practices into my work. My designs are responsive, accessible, and tailored to diverse needs. A fast learner, I quickly adapt to new tools and methods, allowing me to excel across a range of creative demands.
Beyond design, I am dedicated to fostering team development and mentoring. I lead design teams with a collaborative, growth-oriented approach, ensuring each member actively contributes and evolves within each project. My experience emphasizes refining processes, enhancing team productivity, and maintaining high-quality standards throughout the design and production phases.
If you’re looking for a designer who combines artistry with strategy, I’m here to elevate your brand through impactful, results-driven design.
