About
I'm a designer with an adventurous spirit. Two years ago, I packed my bags, left all I knew and moved to L.A. to start my career. This past September, I moved back to New York, got on a plane and traveled around Europe for two months. So now it's time to get to back to work.
I'm a designer with experience working in both print and digital platforms. I'm hard-working, passionate and creative. I'm multifaceted: I'm a designer, a writer, a photo editor, a social media manager and I can even code a little bit!
