 About Me. 

Hello! I'm Jailyn, a first-generation college graduate and Graphic Designer based in Tampa, FL. My biggest strength is innovative thinking and problem-solving. I excel at developing creative solutions to complex challenges, ensuring impactful and cohesive brand messaging.

At Drive Social Media, I lead creative direction for branding and advertising campaigns across 40+ clients, leveraging Adobe Suite expertise to craft compelling digital ads. Previously, as a Graphic Design Team Lead at Affinitiv Advertising, I ensured brand consistency for multiple car dealerships, mentored junior designers, and managed a high volume of projects.

Outside of work, I enjoy dancing and fashion design, which inspire my creative process and bring fresh perspectives to my designs.
