Currently, I work at Collin College, where I lead and execute design initiatives that strengthen the college’s branding, marketing, and communication strategies. Since joining in October 2024, I have managed multiple design projects from concept to completion—collaborating with departments across the college, ensuring brand consistency, and creating accessible, visually compelling materials.
My work includes designing promotional graphics, Annual Reports, event posters, newsletters, web banners, and digital campaigns that communicate the college’s mission and values. I also develop animations and motion graphics to support marketing and internal communications, transforming complex ideas into engaging visual stories. Previously, I served as a Graphic Designer for the City of Dallas, producing a wide range of print and digital materials to support citywide communication and branding initiatives. Earlier in my career, I worked with Suburban Parents Magazine and Konnect News, capturing the publications’ unique voices and connecting with their readership.
I also worked for The Dallas Morning News, creating magazine covers, feature illustrations, and editorial graphics that enhanced storytelling through visually dynamic and impactful design.
