About me
I am a dedicated Graphic Design student at Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, with a minor in Fashion Design from the College of Visual and Performing Arts. I am on track to graduate in May 2026. Throughout my academic journey, I’ve sought hands-on opportunities to grow as a designer, including a transformative role as a Creative Design Intern at Warschawski Graphic Design Agency. This experience deepened my understanding of the balance between creativity and professionalism while helping me refine my skills in a dynamic, real-world environment.
Beyond my internship, I’ve built a diverse portfolio through freelance projects, designing professional logos and visual compositions for clients in start-ups, professional services, and luxury real estate. I take pride in my ability to translate abstract ideas into visually compelling designs that communicate effectively and connect emotionally with audiences.
My design style is characterized by bold geometric elements paired with clean, modern aesthetics, reflecting my creative vision and empathetic approach. I thrive in collaborative settings, where exchanging ideas and constructive feedback helps me push boundaries and elevate my work.
As I approach graduation and look toward the future, I’m excited to continue growing as a designer. I’m committed to learning, innovating, and creating meaningful designs that leave a lasting impact.
