Skills
I'm proficient in the Adobe Creative Suite, and have developed my typography, animation, research, problem-solving, and design thinking skills throughout my years in school as well as in my various internships and current position at MMGY. My design process relies heavily on research and documentation of various trains of thought, as I believe design is inherently affected by the world around, and vice versa. I received a pass on the 2021 ISTD Student Prompts and was awarded membership due to my intense research and documentation throughout the project, which can be seen here.
