About Me
I’m a graphic designer, UX/UI designer and problem solver, excelling under daily deadline pressure, creating user-centered graphics, web & print designs and animations.
A career break between USA Today and the The New York Post allowed me to deep dive into UX/UI design and website building via the seven-course certificate program by Google, which happily combines most of my skillset.
I have designed hero images for Yahoo! Sports, social media graphics for USA Today, O.J. Simpson coverage for Los Angeles Times, studied animation at Animation Mentor and much more!
Recently made the move from L.A. to East Tennessee, getting to fully experience each of the four seasons.
