A bit about me!

I’m a creative marketing designer with a love for bold ideas, motion, and storytelling.

Over the past 5+ years, I’ve brought campaigns to life through animation, visual design, and digital marketing, blending strategy and style to create work that not only looks great but makes an impact.

I thrive where creativity meets purpose. Whether that’s crafting scroll-stopping social content, designing visuals that simplify complex ideas, or building e-learning experiences that actually engage people. I’m all about collaboration, a good challenge, and keeping the creative energy high!
