About Me
Hi there!
I am a graphic designer with over two years of professional experience in marketing, digital, and print design. As a recent college graduate, I have enhanced my already strong skills working as a Graphic Designer at Kato USA, where I work closely with the Marketing Communications Manager on a variety of creative tasks. I am excited to contribute my skills to a company that wants a forward-thinking, highly creative individual on their team. My work is characterized by a deep understanding of visual aesthetics and a passion for creating designs that effectively communicate ideas and strategically align with bigger goals and values.
I am eager to bring my adaptability in approaching unique challenges, creativity, and ability to work across print and digital to meaningful and exciting projects!
