Your Vision, My Skill

Over 11 years, I've collaborated with diverse clients, crafting unique designs make an impact. My journey includes a decade of working in Corporate Philadelphia at companies such as Pond Lehocky and D4 Creative. I gained valuable experience designing for high-profile clients and projects like Comcast and Super Bowl Commercials. In 2020, I embraced full-time freelancing, allowing me to engage in more of a variety of projects and assist entrepreneurs across America. Each project, whether for a small startup or a big-name brand, is a canvas for innovation, benefitting from my rich mix of corporate and entrepreneurial experience. With a flair for bringing ideas to life, I specialize in Wix websites, logos, printed materials, and packaging design.
