I am a versatile designer with the ability to combine both traditional and digital graphic applications. I’m a team player but also work well individually. Minoring in Creative Advertising has helped me develop a competitive edge to create effective strategies. Being fluid in two languages has given me insight on how to communicate in different cultures. I am passionate about what I do and eager to learn!
