DIGITAL MULTIMEDIA DESIGN
ABOUT ME
I have an interdisciplinary undergraduate degree in Digital Multimedia Design from The Pennsylvania State University. I graduated with Cum Laude distinction in May 2025 and a final cumulative 3.91 GPA. I enjoy exploring the boundary between creative design and technical development. My studies have taught me that good designs should solve specific problems through innovation and unobtrusiveness while also being approachable with aesthetic appeal. Successful designs must also be harmonious with end user ideals and goals.
CAREER OBJECTIVE
Seeking entry-level professional opportunities to apply my design thinking, multimedia creativity, and software skills.
