🎨 Painter turned designer, fulfilling my creative purpose without getting acrylics on the carpet👩🏼‍🎓 Earned a BFA with a focus in Visual Communication from School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2019, and in 2021 I earned a certificate in UX Design from Springboard⭐️ I developed a passion for helping brands tell robust stories that are delightful for consumers to engage with through captivating websites, landing pages, advertisements, and content. Designing for advertising in a digital space ignited curiosity within me, and I felt compelled to further explore the complexities and psychology behind the way humans interact with technology. It inspired me to elevate beyond thoughtful visuals, and design products for the good of humanity. I aim to tackle paint points, unearth solutions, and improve lives, while keeping the business’ goals and mission close to heart.💥 When I'm not designing, I love oil painting, kayaking, collecting vintage fashion, long distance running, and exploring new places.-----------✍🏻 Skills:Visual Design: Print, Digital, Art Direction, Advertising, Branding, Concepting, Motion Graphics, Data Visualization, Social Media, IllustrationUI/UX: User Research, Usability Testing, Sitemaps, User Flows, Wireframing, Prototyping, Interface Design🖌 Design Tools:Adobe Creative Suite: Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, Premiere, Lightroom, XD; Figma, Sketch, InVision, Principle, Microsoft Office, WordPress, Adobe Experience Manager, Jira
