About

As a graduate of Western Washington University with a BFA in Graphic Design, my journey in art and design has been a lifelong passion.

This shift allowed me to leverage my creativity in crafting impactful visual concepts and overseeing their precise execution. In my role, I've had the privilege of leading and managing a dynamic team, steering them towards successful execution of our strategic marketing e orts.
