Summary
As a passionate design student, I thrive on bringing creative ideas to life. I have a solid grasp of design principles and hands-on experience with Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, and CAD). I’m driven by the challenge of creating designs that not only look great but also tell a story and resonate with various audiences. I am proficient at working collaboratively in team settings and independently managing projects from concept to completion. I’m excited to apply my creativity and skills in a dynamic setting where I can contribute to meaningful and visually compelling projects.
