PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
My superpower lies in crafting compelling visual campaigns that captivate healthcare audiences and drive results. I thrive in leading creative brainstorming sessions, partnering seamlessly with copywriters, designers, and account managers to develop innovative concepts that align with client goals and fuel growth. With a sharp focus on detail, I oversee multiple projects across digital, print, and multimedia platforms, ensuring every design element is not only on-brand but also meets the highest standards of quality.
As a mentor, I inspire and guide junior designers, delivering actionable feedback that sharpens their skills and fosters their success. By integrating generative AI into creative workflows, I’ve streamlined production processes, enabling faster turnaround times without compromising quality. I am equal parts creative developer and marketing businessman.
