About

With a robust educational background in UI/UX Design from Springboard, Multimedia Design and Development from DeVry University, and Digital Film and Video Production from The Art Institutes, I bring a diverse skill set to the table. My professional journey includes roles such as Multi-Media Artist at Desert Diamond Casinos & Entertainment, where I designed promotional materials and trained new team members, and Guest Services Supervisor at Arizona Financial Theater, where I ensured smooth event operations. As a Graphic Designer, I have contributed to various organizations, including Design by Mykl, RideNow Powersports, Arizona PBS, and Education Forward Arizona, creating visual content for both digital and print media. Additionally, I have experience as an Interaction Designer at Springboard, developing prototypes for clients. My volunteer work at Saboten Con and my role as Marketing Graphic Designer at AZ BIG Media further showcase my versatility and commitment to excellence in design.
