As a designer, I thrive in a supportive environment focused on thoughtful designs tailored to meet the needs of the business and its stakeholders. I marry my advanced design skills with strategic thinking in support of corporate messaging and consumer marketing across print + digital communications. I thrive as an individual contributor working independently and am happy as a member of a collaborative design team, regularly expanding my skills.
