Visual Designer

I am a visual designer in Seattle, WA, with 10 years of experience. I provide creative design solutions for organizations of all sizes, specializing in design systems and templates for efficient distribution. I create engaging assets for campaigns, events, and social media, and I enjoy collaborating to transform ideas into visually appealing materials.
Recently, I was part of the interactive team at Formosa Group as a Graphic Designer, where I collaborated with internal and external teams to deliver a wide range of marketing collateral for one of Microsoft's most successful video game franchises, Minecraft.
