Graphic Designer • Brand Ambassador• Dreamer
Graphics Designer / Production Artist with 10 years’ experience in the entertainment, health and fashion industries. Very proficient in branding systems, print production and web graphics. I am based in Dallas, Texas. Adaptable and a quick learner while still very detail attentive. I am also a team player and motivator with a proven track record of leading and bringing quality control on design projects to improve compliance and service delivery.
Coming from a background of classic graphic design, my work spans from branding and editorial design to art direction. Through taking the inherent personality and condition of a project into consideration, I have had the opportunity to create powerful aesthetics that form a world of their own. When I am not working on design projects, I find myself drawing purses and sewing them. I just love to bring what i imagine to life. Recently, I have found an interest in photography that I do hope to continue pursuing.
