Senior Multimedia Designer

Creative & Design

In my recent role as a Senior Multimedia Designer at Cytek Biosciences, I spearheaded a company-wide rebranding initiative, revamping the website, icons, imagery, and visual elements to elevate the overall brand identity. Additionally, my experience at Boathouse Group Inc., where I crafted print and digital assets for distinguished clients like Eversource Energy and Massachusetts General Brigham's Hospital, has honed my ability to design across disciplines inclusive of web, marketing, and print. I have worked in small agencies and have worn many hats to get jobs done with my team and I’ve also been the sole graphic designer for an 800+ person global company working with a marketing team to create large campaigns. I have a strong sense of brand identity and each company I work for I make sure they stand out from the crowd. I have ten plus years experience with Adobe Creative Suite (mainly Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign), Microsoft software, Google Software, social media, content creation, ideation, photography, animation, and possess qualities such as leadership, communication, prioritization and management.
