I have 15+ years’ experience in graphic design and I hope to be doing this for the rest of my life. I have extensive experience in developing packaging designs from concept to finish in both team and individual settings. This entails researching seasonal trends, taking rough sketches to digital mock-ups which I then turn into physical prototypes to then create the final product, all while adhering to the brand guide.
