As the graphic designer for AHI Travel's top client, Smithsonian Journeys, I have spent the past three years leading the design of their catalogs, including a comprehensive redesign. During this time, I crafted six catalogs under tight deadlines, navigating multiple rounds of edits to ensure each piece met the brand's high standards. My attention to detail and ability to manage time-sensitive projects have been crucial in delivering visually appealing and informative catalogs that resonate with future travelers.

Travel Industry Collection
With a strong background in the travel industry,
I have honed my graphic design skills to create compelling visuals that highlight the unique offerings of each trip. My expertise includes videography, where I craft engaging narratives,
and map design, which clearly presents travel program destinations. I also have a keen eye for photo selection, curating images that resonate
with audiences, and I develop detailed deck plans that enhance understanding of accommodation layouts. This diverse skill set enables me to deliver cohesive, visually striking materials that elevate travel programs and engage potential travelers.
Photo Editing
As a skilled photo editor, I’ve developed my expertise through a variety of projects, from website images to catalogs and personal photos.
I specialize in color correction, ensuring each image is vibrant, while also expertly removing blemishes and bystanders for a polished look. Additionally, my focus on color enhancement brings out the best in every photograph, transforming ordinary images into stunning visual assets. My attention to detail and commitment to quality make me passionate about creating captivating visuals.
Social Media Marketing for Taos Ale House
In my role as Social Media and Marketing Manager for Taos Ale House, I focused on crafting dynamic visual content that highlighted their events and specials. I produced original photos and videos, complemented by tailored designs, to effectively engage our audience. My efforts helped to enhance brand visibility and foster a strong connection with the community.
Early Work & Freelance Projects
Early in my graphic design journey, I embraced
a diverse array of projects that helped me develop and grow as a designer. From direct mailers and graphic prints to logo design, each endeavor offered a unique challenge. The logo to the lower left was specifically requested to be based on
a drawing by the client’s daughter, while the direct mailer and canvas print highlight my ability to create meaningful, personalized designs for
a variety of projects.
