My background
My experience in graphic design started with nothing more than my laptop and some online tutorials. I gained professional training when I started working at National Geographic almost a decade ago, where I reviewed over 200+ book titles for quality control, branding adherence, and technical specifications before they went to the printer. During my time there, I also designed books, magazine spreads, interactive iPad stories, and website graphics, as well as creating a branding and technical guidelines document to help our freelance designers learn the ropes.
After earning a Master of Environmental Science & Management from UCSB, I worked for three years as a data analyst and project manager for an environmental non-profit in Southern California. I love to combine my expertise in data science and passion for art by designing engaging infographics and creative data visualizations. My experience as a scientist gives me an upper hand when creating scientific posters, PowerPoint presentations, and annual reports.
