About

With over a decade of experience in graphic design and branding, I currently lead design initiatives as Creative Director at Fixerhaus.

By integrating accessibility and user experience into every design, we ensure brands resonate across diverse platforms while maintaining clarity and consistency. Previously, in my role as a Financial Communications Analyst at WMATA, I bridged design and financial reporting, delivering data-driven visual narratives that supported organizational goals. This role honed my expertise in data visualization, stakeholder collaboration, and aligning content with branding standards. My mission is to merge creativity with strategy to build design solutions that are both functional and compelling.
