About
With a degree in design and minor in advertising, I have 5 years of experience in design and marketing in both the government and private sector. I specializes in branding identity, design and creative direction with excellent knowledge of production and vendor management. Since coming on board as the in-house designer at my current company, I have shaped the company's global branding strategy, creating guidelines, templates and a synergy that was lacking for the quarter century company. I am driven, enthusiastic and highly collaborative with a reputation for leading and motivating team members to deliver high-quality, efficient work.
In my free time I enjoy painting and photography. -
