A Bit About Me
I'm a graphic designer with a strong foundation in branding, layout, motion graphics, and digital media. With a background in Air Force Public Affairs, I try to bring clarity, strategy, and purpose to every design challenge—translating complex messages into compelling visual solutions.
My portfolio reflects a diverse range of projects spanning advertising, packaging, editorial design, nonprofit storytelling, and digital experiences. From creating animated ads for boutique businesses to developing recruitment brochures for global publishers, I design with both user impact and brand voice in mind. I am currently completing my Graphic Communication Capstone at UMGC, where I continue to sharpen my skills across industry tools like Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, XD, and After Effects. My approach is collaborative, audience-focused, and grounded in practical research, hopefully making me a thoughtful and adaptable creative ready to contribute to any design team.
