During my time with Hallmark, I’ve had the pleasure of working in both the Licensing and Mahogany studios—each offering unique opportunities to grow as a designer and storyteller. Within both teams, I was able to weave my passion for illustration into the creative process, adding a personal and expressive touch to the work. In the Licensing studio, I adapted my style to align with a range of brand voices and audiences, while in the Mahogany studio, I had the meaningful opportunity to contribute to culturally resonant designs that celebrate Black identity and experiences. These experiences deepened my versatility and reaffirmed my belief in the power of illustration to connect, uplift, and inspire.
