About
With a Bachelor of Science in Marketing and a minor in Fine/Studio Arts from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, I have cultivated a diverse career in design, branding, and marketing. As a Freelance Designer since 2018, I have collaborated with clients to create custom brands, including logos and web designs. Previously, I owned a business crafting custom surfboards, skateboards, and art for high-profile clients like The Grateful Dead and MGK, and participated in prominent Los Angeles art markets. As Brand Director at Silent Visual Media, I worked closely with the Deaf Community to enhance cultural representation, branding a $1.5 million Game Show and developing interactive sign language interfaces. My role as a Sales and Marketing Representative at FORMOSI involved executing marketing campaigns that boosted sales and brand visibility. My work has been featured in Portfolio Magazine, Shoutout LA, and more.
