ABOUT ME

I am an independent multi-disciplinary graphic designer who specializes in full-service branding / visual identity design, print design, digital design, editorial design, web design and typography. I have an advanced education degree from the UC Berkeley Extension Professional Program in Graphic Design, that of which refined both my proficiency in Adobe Creative suite and my intuitive eye for design. In addition to this expertise, my strong background in psychology has provided me a unique perspective, and the ability to effortlessly integrate the principles of color psychology, visual communication, and spatial awareness into my designs intuitively. This background has also facilitated my ability to elevate the user-experience by leveraging my deep understanding of accessibility, persuasion, cognitive processing and decision making in order to ensure efficacy and transformative growth.

The knowledge acquired from these two degrees, my innate problem solving skills, and my last two years of professional experience work in conjunction to further propel my ability to create compelling, memorable, intuitive, elegant design solutions.

My passion lies in designing full brand identity packages and implementing the corresponding strategy-driven, visually rich collateral that facilitates the visual identity and brand storytelling in coming to life. By reimagining the future of creative problem-solving through uniquely intoxicating, innovative, effective solutions, I have been able to witness firsthand the efficacious growth that stems from a powerful strategic brand position. The diverse range of clients that I have been able to collaborate with has granted me valuable market knowledge across sectors including luxury beauty, fine jewelry, real estate, outdoor, fashion, fine dining, photography, travel, hospitality and lifestyle.

Services & Expertise

My Process - In order to create excellent, strategic, purposeful creative solutions for every client, I like to follow a three phase structure for each project. While each project is a multidimensional process that varies depending on scope and objective, this collaborative, transparent, adaptive approach allows me to ensure that all projects are completed efficiently and exceed the target objectives.

Define - The goal of this phase is to define a creative brief for the project that includes any / all relevant background knowledge on the brand and it’s goals, the primary design objective, target audience, deliverables, timeline, budget, and most importantly, the essence / purpose of what you want to communicate with this visual solution.

Create - The next phase is where all of the insights from the discovery phase are utilized/ implemented in order to bring this thoroughly defined and mutually understood vision to life through visual communications. This is where the creative magic happens and the different visual solutions for the project objective at hand will be explored. Dependent on the specific project deliverables, this phase is where we will discuss ideas, review rounds of revisions, complete edits and collaborate - a process that allows for us to ensure the final outcome will exceed expectations.

Delivery - Toward the end of the project, we will have a comprehensive design presentation that includes that project deliverables presented in a relevant context (mockup, print proof, website prototype, Brand Guide Presentation, etc.). Any required revisions will be completed and then approved by the client before the final delivery of all scoped deliverables with associated guidelines (includes all editable files, assets, CMYK/RGB exports, etc.).
