I am a graphic designer based in Syracuse, New York.
With over three years of professional experience as a graphic designer in an advertising agency setting creating visually engaging logos and visual identity, brand collateral, and other materials for print and digital use. I have successfully designed websites for a variety of clients, resulting in an increase of website traffic and improved user experience.
I hold a degree in Graphic Design and Digital Media with a minor in Public Relations and Advertising, providing me with a strong foundation in both theoretical and practical aspects of design. Coupled with my minor in Public Relations and Advertising prepared me for blending creativity and marketing and helping brands have a strong visual language that not only looks good, but stands out compared to others.
