About

Professional summary

I am a detail-oriented graphic designer with a strong foundation in design thinking and brand systems. My work focuses on branding design, visual identity, and creating compelling visual assets across digital and print platforms.

I have experience founding and creatively directing community-driven projects, where I helped build an audience of more than 8,000 people across events and social media. In that role, I managed a team, coordinated multiple projects under tight deadlines, and helped drive partnerships and sponsorship opportunities.

I also led end-to-end brand identity work for a fintech lending company, developing a complete logo system, icon mark, color palette, and asset suite for print, digital, and signage use. I enjoy translating strategic creative briefs into cohesive visual identities that balance authority, accessibility, and consistency.

My background includes live stream production and technical direction, where I supported live broadcasts, managed scenes and overlays, and troubleshot technical issues during events. This experience strengthened my ability to stay organized, adapt quickly, and deliver under pressure.

I have formal training in graphic design and Adobe tools, including an associate degree in Graphic Design from Los Angeles Pierce College and additional Adobe certifications. I continue to build my skills in design fundamentals, creative software, and AI-assisted content creation.

I bring a mix of creative thinking, visual problem-solving, collaboration, and technical execution. I am comfortable working across branding, digital media, event production, and multi-platform design environments.
