My philosophy is that, as my client, you know your customer better than I do, and I will help you creatively express your message to your customers. To me, a project is never completed until it is in the hands of your customers.
I am a seasoned graphic design and public relations professional with more than 30 years of experience delivering high-quality visual communications across print, digital, and multimedia platforms. My work blends creative vision with technical precision to support organizational goals, advance advocacy efforts, and promote messages of inclusion, pride, faith, and heritage.
My experience includes proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere Pro), Microsoft Office Suite, and social media platforms, with extensive experience collaborating across teams and independently managing complex projects. I am dedicated to creating visual communications that are not only effective and impactful but also aligned with the values of integrity, inclusion, and service.
