About Me

I am a graphic designer and communications professional with experience in marketing, branding, and visual content creation.
 

I currently serve as Director of Marketing and Communications at YSS, where I lead brand strategy, campaign development, and organizational communications. I was promoted into this role after 1.5 years as a Marketing and Communications Coordinator, where I gained hands-on experience creating branded materials, digital content, and campaign assets across multiple platforms.
 

I graduated summa cum laude from Iowa State University’s Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication in December 2022 with a degree in Public Relations and a minor in General Business. My academic background strengthened my understanding of strategic communication, audience engagement, and brand development, which I continue to apply in my design work.
 

Through my professional experience, I have developed a strong interest in the visual side of communication, particularly branding, layout design, and creating cohesive visual systems. I enjoy turning ideas into clean, effective designs that improve clarity and strengthen messaging.
 

I am now seeking a role where I can focus more directly on graphic design within a collaborative creative environment. I am especially interested in branding, marketing design, and visual communication for organizations that value consistency, clarity, and strong visual identity.

I value spending time with family and friends and bring a positive, team-focused approach to both work and life.
