About me!

Summary

As a journalism and design student at the University of Southern California, I have gained significant experience in the fields of graphic and product design, business administration, entrepreneurship, project management, coding, verbal and written communication, marketing, and many others.

My creatively driven and detail-oriented work ethic has inspired my passion for branding and marketing, and working within these fields has allowed me to develop a keen eye for compelling design and a deep understanding of effective brand strategies. I believe in the power of storytelling and using a brand's narrative to drive its unique identity and engage its audience.

My passion for all things design has been a driving force throughout my education and professional experiences, motivating me to continually challenge myself to create innovative designs that exceed client expectations.

As I progress into post-graduate life, I aim to delve into these passions even further and continue to push my creative limits. My skills and experience leave me well-equipped to bring innovative and impactful solutions to the world of marketing and branding.
