I am a proud honors graduate of the Design & Visual Communication program at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, consistently merging the worlds of traditional art and modern design. From a young age, drawing and painting were always my artistic anchors, shaping my creative journey.

These traditional art forms are the cornerstone of my design approach, infusing my work with a unique blend of handcrafted authenticity and contemporary aesthetics. Whether it's fluid brushstrokes, intricate line work, or thoughtful composition, my designs capture the essence of visual storytelling with a personal signature.

My visions are never too far away; I thrive on living a life full of creative challenges. I am always expanding my knowledge and keeping an open mind to learn. With a fierce passion for continuous learning, I aspire to become a multidisciplinary "Swiss Army knife" in my chosen field. This passion drives me to continuously evolve as a designer, and that is what I will keep striving for as long as I am alive.

Experience

Graphic Design Intern

June 2024 - Present

I am assisting with campaign development and collaborating with the creative team. I am also shadowing senior colleagues, adapting work based on client feedback, and ensuring timely, high-standard project delivery. This role will continue to develop my conceptual thinking, problem-solving skills, and proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite within a team-based, deadline-driven environment.

Graphic Design Intern + Freelance

November 2023 - Present

My work involved a dynamic array of projects, both client-facing and internal. I had the opportunity to collaborate with the Executive Creative Director, contributing to the development of illustration and typography lockups for an Augmented Reality project.

Designer + Illustrator

September 2023 - December 2023

In the UW-Milwaukee Art 329 Package Design course, I participated and rose to the challenge, of creating a design that not only encapsulated the spirit of the city but also distinguished itself amidst a bustling beer retail scene. My design was selected for a high-profile collaboration and has the distinction of being the first student-created design to be licensed and distributed citywide for UW-Milwaukee's Panther Pale Ale.

Creative Design Intern

June 2023 - August 2023

I gained insight into the functions of a full-service advertising agency, particularly the structure of an extensive Creative department. Through shadowing Designers and assisting with projects aligned with my skill set, I gained familiarity with Bader Rutter’s clients in the Food / Agricultural sectors.

Marketing + Advertising Intern

June 2023 - August 2023

My journey with The BrandLab, through their mission of empowering BIPOC students, provided me with a unique opportunity to intern at Bader Rutter, where I engaged with the inner workings of a full-service ad agency. Empowered by The BrandLab's commitment to diversity and inclusivity, I had the privilege to contribute my skills and enthusiasm to the Creative Function at Bader Rutter.
