I’m a freelance Designer based in the Pacific Northwest. My goal is to create an effective user experience that is intuitive and seamless.
I am fueled by my passion for understanding the nuances of cross-cultural societal norms. I’ve always had a passion for studying human behavior and understanding the psychology behind actions, motivations, and mores. Ultimately, designing a digital experience that creates solutions.
I bring various skills, including graphic and visual design, marketing, content management, and Interactive design. With over 20 years of experience in the creative industry, working both independently and at some of the local leading non-profit companies to further develop my style and evolve as a visual designer.
I bring my visual and marketing experience to UX design and enjoy using my skill set to empower people by creating intuitive user experiences that solve user problems.
I like to focus on creating a seamless and emotionally resonant user journey. In addition, elevate the usability of designs by creating a smooth and seamless experience. If you can anticipate users’ needs and mindsets, you can also ensure your design enhances their overall interaction.
My expertise covers developing and implementing brand guidelines, digital design, UX/UI website design, and communication and marketing strategies
Whether I’m working as a Graphic Designer, Visual Designer, or in website design, my core is rooted in creativity and thinking beyond the conventional, bringing forth innovation, originality, and fresh perspectives.
Communications Content marketing not only builds but also nurtures connections with potential and current customers. This, in turn, can amplify online presence and foster loyalty through mediums like newsletters, blogs, and social media posts, email and digital marketing.
Website and graphic design share a similar creative space. Both involve the artistry of crafting visuals. But while web design is a medium where ongoing changes and updates are a part of any project, graphic design is about creating visuals with longevity. Designing a website or a logo may be different design disciplines, but they’re both a part of branding. Designing the overall layout and aesthetic for websites creating a website is one of the most important steps toward gaining traction in any business.
