With 5 years experience in both in-house and freelance graphic designer roles, I have honed my ability to blend creativity with strategy to create compelling and attractive visual solutions that resonate with audiences, and drive results. I managed a wide range of projects, from concept to production, for various media: in-store signage, posters, brochures, flyers, packaging, social media, and marketing collateral. 

As I deeply care about inclusion and accessibility, I delved into UX and Web design. Dedicated and detail-oriented, I am seeking opportunities to work on projects where I can use my creative design skills, user-centric approach, and passion for enhancing the customer experience to drive sales and improve overall user satisfaction.
