Continuously seeking to improve and adapt, I have built a strong software skillset comprising the Adobe CC Suite and other platforms such as Figma, Canva, MS Word, and MS PowerPoint, with a strong interest in pursuing motion graphics and other areas of UX design.
My portfolio shows a wide range of styles and mediums, from branding to digital and print media.
