Jan 2016 - Present • 10 yrs 7 mos

I have worked as a freelance graphic designer for over 10 years, specializing in drinkware and packaging design, including paper cups, coffee cup carriers, tumblers, coffee mugs, and ice cream cups. Over the years I have collaborated with clients ranging from small independent coffee shops to large companies such as BuzzFeed, helping them bring their branding to life through custom cup and packaging designs. My work has included complete branding packages, logo design, label design, and packaging mockups tailored to each client's unique identity and target audience. I take pride in understanding a client's vision early on and translating it into designs that are both visually appealing and production ready. Some of my key achievements include completing a paper cup and carrier design project for BuzzFeed with a project budget of five thousand dollars, delivering a full drinkware design package covering tumblers, mugs, and paper cups for a growing beverage brand, and consistently maintaining strong client satisfaction with over five hundred completed projects to date. I focus on clear communication, timely delivery, and high quality print ready files including formats such as PDF, AI, EPS, and PSD, ensuring every project moves smoothly from concept to final production.
