About Me

Senior Graphic Designer

Fashion • Beauty • Lifestyle • Digital & Print

Nice to see you here! I’m a Senior Graphic Designer based in NYC with 6+ years of experience across fashion, beauty, and lifestyle brands. I specialize in brand identity, campaign creative, and cross-channel design spanning digital, print, and e-commerce. My work is rooted in concept-driven design, collaboration, and translating brand strategy into clear, compelling visuals. I’ve partnered with in-house teams, executive leadership, and founders to bring their campaigns and products to life from concept to execution.

Available for senior-level roles and select freelance projects.

Below you will find a curated snapshot of brand, campaign, and cross-channel design projects. Each project was chosen to highlight strategic thinking, visual systems, and real-world execution.
