ABOUT ME
Having studied Visual Communications & Graphics on the East Coast, I began my career designing visuals for print and marketing collaterals. My skills landed me a job in Los Angeles, where I created 2D-3D gaming graphics, as well as special effect graphics for episodic TV and feature film.
I found a new passion for my visual craft after working on a few empathy-centric interactive design projects, and in 2019, I earned a UX-UI Design certification with CalArts online and I have been applying these skills to all my digital, design-centric projects.
My diverse technical skills and creative background have helped me develop a super eye for fine details, a consistent drive for trend-setting innovations and dedication for delivering high quality, visual craftsmanship.
I've also volunteered for Meals on Wheels, as well as, Food Drive volunteering events in Los Angeles. My nature is to reach out to help others and give back to my community.
To keep my creative skills fresh and high-energy, I play guitar, painting abstracts, read and hike local trails.
