I'm a Graphic Designer and Illustrator with 11+ years of experience helping brands communicate clearly and beautifully through design. My background as an Art Director has given me experience across branding, marketing, illustration, packaging, presentations, social media, and print design. I enjoy turning ideas into thoughtful visual solutions that not only look good but also support a brand's goals. Whether it's creating a logo, building a visual identity, designing marketing materials, or illustrating custom artwork, I bring a balance of creativity, strategy, and attention to detail to every project. I'm passionate about creating work that feels intentional, memorable, and tailored to each client's unique vision. I'd love to hear more about your project and explore how we can bring it to life together.

I help established YouTube channels, animation teams, and video agencies turn scripts into clickable thumbnail concepts, clear storyboards, and strong visual direction. My strength is not just drawing. I understand hooks, pacing, emotion, and retention from 3+ years working in MSA-style animated content, where I was promoted to Creative Director. I’m best for projects where you already have a script, voiceover, or content idea, and you need someone to make the visuals stronger before production starts. FOCUS : Clear visual direction Strong emotional hooks Readable, scroll-stopping thumbnail concepts Visual consistency that helps channels scale I CAN ALSO DO : Shorts & fast-paced storytelling Storyboards for animated or semi-animated content Thumbnail ideation (concepts + reasoning, not just visuals) Animated Storytelling & Scene Direction AI assisted workflows If you’re looking for someone who can think like a director, not just execute designs, I’ll be a strong fit.
