SCROLL TO LEARN MORE ABOUT ME + MY RESUME

  • As you already know, I’ve got 5+ years of experience in social media advertising under my belt. But I bet you didn’t know that my favorite color is purple and I’m a proud owner of the sweetest cat to ever live, Ms. Kiki. Okay now for the real real —I was born and raised in Hawai’i and for some odd reason I attended university in a small town called Collegedale all the way in southern Tennessee. (You’re gonna have to keep watch for my memoir one day to learn why I ended up on the opposite side of the world from paradise.)

    After graduating from Southern Adventist University in April 2021 , I landed a designer job with The Sasha Group. And it’s been history since then. I’ve become a sponge of valuable knowledge from amazing mentors and leaders.

    Nowadays, I’m a highly creative and results-driven Senior Graphic Designer with extensive experience in B2C multimedia marketing. Skilled in leveraging strategic insights to drive impactful brand experiences. Adept at collaborating with cross-functional teams and clients to deliver visually compelling solutions that align with business objectives. Known for exceptional interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills. Adept at balancing creativity with business objectives to deliver innovative solutions that resonate with target audiences.
