My 7+ years of customer service experience further enhance my ability to connect with diverse audiences. I’m eager to bring these skills to a team, to create solutions that drive meaningful impact.

I love collaborating to push boundaries and produce work that not only meets but exceeds expectations. If you’re looking for someone who is passionate about design and dedicated to professionalism, let’s connect and create something amazing together!
