Creative graphic designer specializing in packaging and editorial design. Experience working in a wide variety of sectors, from high-end liquor to pet food, start-ups to non-profits. What makes me unique in this vast world of talent on Upwork? I have been freelancing for almost twenty years and prior to that, I worked on-staff at a few top branding agencies in New York. The professional insight I gained there has allowed me to navigate my own entrepreneurial path and be a more strategic, efficient freelancer. I thrive on problem-solving and the creative challenges that each project presents. I believe attention to detail is vital— not just from a graphic design perspective (although it is incredibly important) but carefully listening to the client's needs and coming up with a strategy to achieve their goals. I would love the opportunity to discuss your project and how we can collaborate to express your unique vision. Services offered: • Branding + Identity/Logo Design • Packaging design • Print collateral, brochures and catalogs • Annual report layout/production • Infographics • Invitations In addition to the aforementioned services, I have also been known to design billboards, posters, advertisements, book covers, create brand guidelines... even an occasional trade show exhibit. I'm new here on Upwork so please don't hesitate to reach out if you have additional questions.
