About Me
I'm a graphic designer specializing in branding, packaging, and print production, with expertise in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign). My experience includes brand identity, typography, color theory, regulatory-compliant packaging, FDA and Prop 65 labeling, product claims, active ingredient layouts, barcodes and QR codes, booklets, and national and international print production.
I combine creativity with strategic thinking to create designs that are visually compelling, compliant, and production-ready. Passionate about sustainable packaging and AI-powered creative workflows, I leverage tools like ChatGPT to enhance content, streamline processes, and deliver innovative design solutions that make a lasting impact.
