Remote Graphic Designer and Marketing Specialist
With more than 10 years of experience in graphic design and marketing, I have an excellent track record of
working remotely with cross functional and multicultural teams to deliver custom illustrations, infographics,
branding, and marketing content to meet my clients’ and employers’ needs. I offer considerable experience in
creating smart and effective design solutions that communicate value and relay information—especially in the
areas of marketing services and selling the benefits of intangible ideas. I know how to optimize artwork for digital
platforms as well as print media. I regularly build and coordinate branding across platforms. And, I am highly
motivated to deliver designs that produce results for my clients and employers alike. I provide value in every
project with increased awareness, engagement, and conversion metrics, and by making remote collaboration easy
with great communication skills and a solid work ethic. I regularly manage multiple design projects concurrently,
and always deliver high-quality work on time with excellent project management and time management skills.
