In my own words

Andre

I am a forward-thinking graphic designer with 10 years of experience developing visual solutions from concept to completion for globally recognized companies.

I specialize in the creation and execution of innovative and engaging marketing campaigns from company-wide rebrands, to product launches, to global trade shows. To maximize these marketing campaigns, I have experience with campaign testing, identifying what works and what does not work for the target audience to ensure the best results possible.

I pride myself on my exceptional work ethic and my ability to excel in a collaborative team environment. I am a dedicated life learner who strives to continually improve professionally and personally.

My past experience has been in healthcare and life science, which has challenged me to be creative under healthcare and FDA guidelines. I have been successful in the creative field under such strict guidelines and like to imagine how I might flex my creativity outside such guidelines.
