I am currently a freelance graphic designer based in Brooklyn, New York. I graduated from The City College of New York with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Electronic Design & Multimedia and a minor (which hasn't yet come in handy) in Asian Studies. I also did a short stint abroad in Japan at Temple University studying Contemporary Media and Popular Culture (which was another way to say we balanced a bit of education with a lot of tourism). Recently, I became interested in User Experience Design and completed a part-time course at the New York City campus of General Assembly. In my spare time I am an avid crafter.
Over the years, I have gained experience designing for a variety of categories including interior design, gardening, health, fitness, beauty, fashion, and food. I've assisted editors in designing decor projects, conceptualizing photo sets and art directing photoshoots. I also commissioned a variety of illustrations over the years, ranging from whimsical photo illustrations to technical step-by-steps. I am looking forward to expanding my skills and venturing into different types of design projects.
