Design | Print | Digital | Web

A highly creative and detail-driven designer with a strong passion for packaging, print and digital media. Known for thriving in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments, I bring an organized, solutions-oriented approach to every project — from developing innovative packaging concepts to crafting cohesive brand assets across fashion, retail, and editorial. I collaborate seamlessly with cross-functional teams, vendors, and creative leaders to bring ideas to life while maintaining brand integrity and visual consistency. With experience spanning packaging design, marketing collateral, editorial layout, and rebranding initiatives, I stay continually inspired by emerging trends and dedicated to delivering thoughtful, elevated design solutions.
