Arizona based Multi-Disciplinary Designer with 5 years freelance graphic and web design experience. Proficient in design thinking, wire-framing, and prototyping, I conceptualize and create end-to-end design assets. I have a unique perspective having lived and worked in the Middle East for over a decade. That culturally immersive experience refined my ability to empathize and work with a diverse group of clients and stakeholders.
