Posters

As the graphic designer for GALE Credit Union, I've had the opportunity to create engaging poster campaigns that promote financial literacy, community involvement, and the credit union's services. My poster designs aim to capture the attention of members and potential members alike, conveying important information in a clear and visually appealing way.

Logos

I've had the privilege of crafting logos that embody the essence of various brands, businesses, and organizations. The logo creation process is a delicate balance of art and strategy, requiring a deep understanding of the client's vision, values, and target audience. I take a thoughtful and iterative approach to logo design, experimenting with typography, color, and symbolism to distill the client's identity into a singular, impactful mark.

Layouts

As a graphic designer, I have a passion for crafting typography layouts that elevate the written word into a visually stunning experience. I believe that typography is more than just a means of communication – it's an art form that can evoke emotions, convey tone, and guide the viewer's eye through a composition. When designing typography layouts, I carefully select fonts, colors, and arrangements that harmonize with the message, audience, and brand identity. Whether it's a brochure, poster, or digital interface, my goal is to create typography layouts that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also clear, readable, and effective in communicating the intended message.

Packaging

I've had the opportunity to bring brands to life through creative and functional packaging designs. I understand that packaging is more than just a container – it's a critical touchpoint that can make or break a consumer's first impression of a product. When designing packaging, I consider the entire user experience, from the initial unboxing to the daily use of the product. I balance aesthetics with functionality, ensuring that the design is not only visually appealing but also informative, durable, and aligned with the brand's overall identity.
