Resume

CAREER PROFILE

I spent the first seven years of my career at a leading advertising agency, where I honed my skills, met client objectives and managed tight deadlines. This experience was instrumental in shaping my approach to design.

Now, as the founder of the Cultured Coop, I channel that expertise into creating standout brand visuals for weddings and businesses. Whether designing for a memorable event or building a brand from the ground up, I focus on seamlessly blending art and communication to create meaningful results.
