About
I am a multi-faceted Designer with a focus in Product Design, Graphic Design, and Marketing. I enjoy finding solutions to design challenges by using my experience and skills while collaborating with a team. I believe merging industrial and graphic design is key in providing immaculate consumer interaction with a product and a brand.
With my school and work experience, I have gained skills in all aspects of product development and graphic design. Research, ideation, sketching, CAD, modeling, and designing within a brand are all parts of development that I'm comfortable with. I enjoy being part of a team and bringing positive attitude to the group every day. With InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop, I am able to provide designs for brand identity, sales collateral, marketing materials, package design, and more.
I look forward to using my skills to aide in any aspect of a product development team. -
