Summary

As a first-year graphic design scholar, I am passionate about bringing creative ideas to life through visual storytelling. With experience designing for clothing brands, real estate marketing, and event promotions, I specialize in crafting eye-catching designs that engage audiences and enhance brand identity.

Currently, I balance my studies with hands-on experience as a graphic designer and office assistant, where I create flyers, marketing materials, and digital content. My background in sales and customer service has also strengthened my ability to understand consumer needs, and design with purpose.

I am eager to continue growing my skills in branding, digital media, and marketing design while working toward my goal of a career in graphic design. I’m always open to networking, collaboration, and new opportunities to expand my creative expertise.
