With over two decades of professional experience at renowned companies like UPS and Disney, I have honed my skills as a UX/UI designer, artist, team player, and people management expert. As a versatile freelance artist, I have had the privilege of collaborating with a diverse range of clients, spanning from large corporations to small businesses, delivering exceptional results every step of the way.
Immersing myself in diverse art forms has always fueled my creative passion, yet in 2012, I discovered my true love. A single brush stroke ignites my mind like nothing else.
Having showcased my artworks in countless exhibits, my retirement dream is to curate a mesmerizing solo show, where my creations alone grace every corner.
When I'm not designing, you'll find me swinging golf clubs, sipping beer, and making sandy masterpieces at the beach—apparently, multitasking my way to a hole-in-one, a foamy celebration, and a sunburn!
Web Design
Designed a Resource page with blue accents, ensuring brand consistency. Additionally, I crafted on-brand graphics and developed Branded email and PowerPoint templates for a cohesive visual experience.
My assignment was to rebrand their Learning Hub, commencing with a fresh logo while maintaining their dark blue and gold brand colors. I strategically refocused the page to prioritize the needs of the audience, primarily new hires. Additionally, I established a document library housing 477 files, efficiently categorized with different "Choice" tags for seamless sorting.
I undertook the redesign of their website, revamping both their logo and icons to align with a more traditional color scheme. Additionally, I crafted an Events page, enabling the posting of past event videos, while developing a comprehensive video library. To enhance convenience, I converted the video audio into podcasts, allowing employees to listen on the go.

My role revolves around delivering C-suite level support, where I meticulously craft their PowerPoint presentations and curate visually appealing backgrounds for both local and virtual presenters—ensuring a seamless experience on and off the stage. Additionally, I skillfully create captivating images to advertise these noteworthy events.
Virtual Teams Meeting Backgrounds
I design immersive virtual backgrounds that not only maintain brand consistency but also captivate the audience's attention. These tailor-made virtual backdrops assist presenters in creating a captivating and on-brand experience, enhancing their ability to engage and enthrall their viewers.
