I have over 10 years of professional experience in graphic design, branding, and marketing, with a career focused on creating visual communications for entertainment, experiential marketing, and consumer brands. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design and have spent my career working at creative agencies, where I've advanced into an Art Director role at a prestigious agency. My work has included brand identity systems, presentation design, marketing campaigns, environmental graphics, and large-scale experiential activations, allowing me to apply both creative strategy and technical design skills in fast-paced, collaborative environments.
In addition to my professional experience, I enjoy mentoring aspiring designers and helping students build the practical skills needed to succeed in school and the creative industry. I provide one-on-one instruction tailored to each student's goals, whether they're learning the fundamentals of design, preparing a portfolio, improving proficiency in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign, or developing stronger typography, layout, branding, and presentation design skills. My teaching style is collaborative and hands-on, focusing on real-world design workflows, constructive feedback, and helping students understand the reasoning behind design decisions rather than simply completing assignments.
I work with high school students, college students, and adult learners at a variety of skill levels. My goal is to create a supportive learning environment where students gain confidence, strengthen their creative problem-solving abilities, and develop skills they can apply in both academic and professional settings. I enjoy helping students discover their own creative voice while building a strong foundation in design principles and industry best practices.
