Over the past 4 years, I’ve had an exciting journey as a graphic designer! I had the opportunity to work with renowned sports teams like the Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta United, Atlanta Dream, and Georgia State Panthers. Not only that, but I’ve also worked closely with popular food brands like Buffalo Wild Wings, Baskin Robbins, Dunkin' Donuts, and Jimmy John's. I’m happy to say my work has left a lasting impact in both the sports and food industries.
