About
With a Bachelor's degree in Design and Visual Communications from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, I have honed my skills in graphic design and visual storytelling. My professional journey began with a Graphic Design Internship at Sportdecals, where I developed creative graphics for sports equipment. I then advanced to a Graphic Designer role at Choice Mobility USA, crafting corporate logos and marketing materials. As a Graphic Design Consultant at The UPS Store 6337, I collaborated closely with clients to bring their design visions to life. Currently, I am a Visual Designer at Tata Consultancy Services, where I specialize in creating user-centered UI/UX solutions and design systems for major brands like Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer. My work involves developing wireframes, prototypes, and strategic design solutions in collaboration with UX specialists and engineers.
