I have led projects from concept to execution, collaborated closely with account and strategy teams, and mentored junior designers. My skills span brand identity, integrated campaigns, packaging, illustration, photo direction, storyboarding, web design, and AI-generated visuals and copy. I’m proficient in Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, ChatGPT, Midjourney, and Microsoft Office.

Currently, I work full-time as a remote Art Director at Marlin Connections, an agency specializing in the food and beverage space, while pursuing my MFA in Graphic Design at the Academy of Art University. Balancing professional work with graduate studies challenges me to think more holistically and encourages me to continue evolving as a designer.

I hold a BA in Graphic Design from Cleveland State University and have worked with clients at local, national, and international levels. My work created with agency teams has been recognized by the American Advertising Awards. Independently, my work has been recognized by AIGA and Adobe Create. Most recently, I was featured as a 2025 Student to Watch by Graphic Design USA.
