    ➜ Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design ➜ 195 projects completed and counting ➜ Only billed for actual design hours My work is color-conscious with strong technical craft, and I always enjoy bringing a bit of whimsy, material exploration, and unique artwork to projects that allow for it. Through my time at The Martin Agency, my year-long internship at non-profit coworking arts studio Studio Two Three, my freelance consulting for digital marketing company Koda Digital, and my coursework at Virginia Commonwealth University, I have developed an organized, yet fun way of working in a physical and digital space that keeps me motivated and efficient. In this space, I aim to offer something reliably spectacular and unique. I enjoy bringing a high level of care and consideration even to more unconstrained processes of design. For me, apathy is not an option, and that shows in how I live and create. I have a strict adherence to project requirements, budget, and timeline so that errors are avoided and less revisions are needed for deliverables that fit the client’s needs. These early points of discussion will proactively set expectations and reduce miscommunication and inefficiency. Progress updates are provided in installments agreed upon during onboarding and included in pricing. Deliverables will be provided in any amount of file outputs and sizes requested, per design. Files shared through highly organized personal Google Drive client folder, project by project. Fully proficient in: ✔︎ Photoshop / InDesign / Illustrator ✔︎ Digital Collateral ✔︎ Print Design and Production ✔︎ Illustration ✔︎ Photo Editing ✔︎ Content Writing and Editing

    I am a native English speaker who is able to communicate in both Portuguese and Spanish. I have been a freelancer for most of my adult life, even when working full time positions. I crave variety and new problems to solve as I enjoy the fresh challenge and stimulating nature of new experiences. While new to Upwork, I am not new to freelancing, and look forward to discussing your project and business needs. I have 13 years of experience in creating visual media, both digital and analog. I additionally have 10 years of experience within the realm of clinical research and clinical trials (oncology specifically). My time working in the clinical research arena solidified my skills with project management, technical writing, transcribing, and proofreading. An additional skill learned was taking technical terminology and writing it in lay language. I am an avid reader (70+ books this year as of the end of October) in addition to being a volunteer reader for VCU Cabell First Novelist Award (2023). Please contact me if you are looking for a beta reader. I am quick, with an eye for attention to detail, and an interest in a variety of genres. I enjoy solving problems creatively and have an array of both creative and academically based skills. I enjoy a challenge and look forward to producing a solution for you, whether it is visual, text, or an alternative media.
