About
I am a freelance graphic designer creating tailor-made brands and one-of-a-kind designs in Detroit, Michigan. With nearly 15 years of design experience, I focus on creating powerful branding and visual identities, as well as print collateral, packaging and product design. Along the way, I've had the privilege of working with a wide array of clients, from local start-ups to major corporations. I have designed consumer goods for both national and international markets and my work has graced the shelves of Walmart, Target, Michaels and more . I'm excited to network with other creatives and entrepreneurs in Detroit or around the world. Let's collaborate on your next creative projects!
