About

I'm a graphic designer experienced in creating and maintaining branding and identities for small and medium companies. I have spent the last seven years in real estate design and marketing in the Washington, DC area, primarily with TTR Sotheby's International Realty. As the keeper of the brand I support the global and local brand by creating digital and print content on a company level as well as on an individual agent level for over 500 realtors. In my free time, I love creating beautiful invitation suites for weddings, parties, etc.

- Adobe InDesign is my best friend (proficient in Illustrator & Photoshop as well)

- Design Strengths are layout design, typography, promotional/marketing materials.

- Experience managing multiple projects/deadlines at one time. Communication is key!
