With rich design experience across sectors, I've learned to build and reinforce branding across multiple channels from print to digital.

At World Market I sharpened my expertise in brand identity development, ensuring every project resonated with its intended audience. At Golden 1 Credit Union, my contributions in UI/UX and email design not only elevated user experience but also significantly boosted client engagement.
