MISSION
Visually communicate company values and goals through branded marketing
messages in both print and digital platforms by implementing creative concepts
collaboratively resulting in simple, clean, graphics and layout, inspired by
typography, natural forms, patterns and photography.
BACKGROUND
Organization, analysis, reasoning, and problem solving were gained in my
accounting background. During my employment involving branded promotional
products, I rediscovered my creative passion to think visually working with logo
designs. After receiving a Graphic Design certificate at RISD, I have redesigned
the marketing collateral through strategic layouts and redesigned a responsive
website. My other strategies can be seen on the tennis court.
DIRECTION
Enhance brands making an impact supporting the team, clients, and my passion
for design.
