Hi! I'm Sunny.

​

I'm an experienced Art Director and Production Designer in the field of retail advertising, able to translate the vision of an organization into effective design solutions, as well as guide the process from concept to final deliverables.

I'm comfortable managing multiple projects with minimal guidance, bringing a can-do attitude to problem-solving and collaborative efforts while staying on deadline and on brand. I am well versed in Adobe Creative Suite — InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator, and my experience in art direction, design and production allow me to be both creative and technically proficient.
