About

Behind the screen,

I’m a graphic designer specializing in motion graphics, branding, and marketing design. I love bringing ideas to life through both design and animation.

My design journey began in high school in 2015, and I’ve been growing ever since. I earned my BA in Graphic Design from the University of Illinois Chicago in 2024, completing freelance projects, internships, and online courses along the way. Now at 25, I bring over 3 years of freelance experience—working with 100+ clients—and 2 years of corporate experience as an in-house designer at Stericycle.

Outside of work, I enjoy time with my two dachshunds, creating art, traveling, and keeping up with the latest design trends.

My experiences

I've been fortunate enough to have had so many experiences working as a designer during and right out of university that has prepared me for my future roles to come.

SEPT 2023 - JULY 2025

Graphic Designer at Stericycle

I created engaging social media campaigns, motion graphics, infographics, presentations, and print/digital layouts—all while managing multiple projects on tight deadlines. Using AI and stock assets, I developed custom visuals aligned with brand standards, stayed ahead of design trends to strengthen brand presence, and improved stakeholder approvals with clear storyboards and mock-ups.
