About Me
I am a designer who values ambition, imagination, and compassion. I help my team display clients in unconventional ways that connect with real people.
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 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.
