I am a creative professional with six years of experience working full-time in graphic design roles. In addition, I have been doing freelance art and design and selling my artwork for over fifteen years.  

My passion for creativity is matched by my desire to do meaningful work, which is why I am thrilled to work for the Jewish Federation of Southern New Jersey and our family of agencies. As the senior graphic designer, I execute branding and design and help shape our design strategy across a wide range of print and digital graphics. It is exhilarating to support the Jewish community with my work, which reflects my Jewish values.

I also have diverse experience from prior roles as a graphic designer at Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore, Key Food Stores Co-Op, School Photo Marketing, and several marketing and art-related internships and apprenticeships.

Skills I have applied in my roles along my journey include:

Creative Skills:
Art direction, booklets, branding, brochures, copywriting, drawing, event design, flyers, illustration, live drawing, logos, merchandise, motion graphics, painting, photography, proofreading, social media graphics, stop-motion, web and email banners.

Technical Skills:
Adobe Creative Cloud (Adobe After Effects, Adobe Express, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Lightroom), Adobe Experience Manager, AI tools, Canva, CSS, GIFS, Microsoft Office Suite, Salesforce, SAP, and WordPress.

Throughout my creative education and career, I have had the privilege of showing my art in exhibitions, delivering art talks, winning awards, and being published. 

As I continue to grow my full-time work as a graphic designer, I am always seeking opportunities to freelance or teach in my evenings or on weekends. Please feel free to reach out if you are interested in working together!
