About Me
I'm a graphic designer and creative lead with experience across art direction, brand identity, packaging, digital campaigns, and editorial design. My background in publishing and communications informs the way I approach design—I like finding the story in a project, understanding its audience, and building visual systems that make information engaging and easy to understand. I connect my interest in storytelling with bold typography, expressive color palettes, and a sense of joy.
