Brand designer and art director with 17+ years of agency and independent experience across digital, brand identity, and presentation design. My background is rooted in digital design and web experiences — work that demanded systems thinking, precision, and the ability to translate complex ideas into compelling visuals. Over the past several years I've made a deliberate pivot toward brand identity and presentation design, bringing the same rigor from global agency work to focused independent engagements.
