About Me
I am a designer who values ambitious ideas, bold visuals, and intuitive design. I help clients by breaking them out of the mould with visuals that cut through the background noise.
I have experience in creation of branding and guidelines, short form and longform content for Instagram, TikTok and Youtube. I’ve created the art direction for albums that have accumulated tens of thousands of impressions across streaming and video platforms, as well as grown a brand around in-house designs for small artists. I am comfortable and capable as a self reliant creative and as a team member, making, editing, and publishing content using the Adobe creative suite as well as Cubase for audio based mediums.
I’m looking for the opportunity to transition my skills from the world of small artists to larger scale endeavours through experience at a larger creative firm.
