It took me a long time to figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up, but once I found it, I fell in love with design. From concepting to final mechanicals, I’m crazy meticulous (yes, that was me who went back and named your layers) and organized. I’m used to working in a deadline-based creative environment, so I can do it both fast and right...the first time.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have extensive experience with existing brands & their standards. This has a allowed me to hone the skill of making something new within the boundaries of the brand's rules and the client’s preferences.
I enjoy the process of leading a team creatives who are earlier on in their journey. Giving them feedback in their designs, teaching them skills I’ve spent years developing, and watching them grow as designers is satisfying in a way very different from designing things yourself.
I have a special place in my heart for designs that turn into physical things. In this increasingly digital world, there’s still something special about holding something in your hands or seeing it come to life once it’s complete.
