My family and friends mean everything to me. They’ve supported me through every step of what I’ve been able to accomplish. I also have 11 pets which include a dog, two cats, and eight chickens (all named after Taylor Swift songs because what else would you name them?).

Before design, I spent time working closely with animals in veterinary medicine. That experience shaped how I approach my work today. It taught me to lead with empathy, to listen closely, and to prioritize the needs of others. I learned to think beyond the task at hand and focus on what truly matters to clients, a mindset I now carry into design as I help bring their ideas and inspirations to life.

I love connecting with people and getting to “nerd out” over what they’re passionate about. For me, that’s movies, books, music, and finding the best coffee spots in town; even if I always end up ordering a chai latte.

I’ve loved drawing for as long as I can remember, but it wasn’t until high school that I realized I could turn that passion into a career in graphic design. I owe a lot to my favorite teacher, Mrs. Scales, who inspired me and she challenged me in ways that still shape my work today. She taught me everything she knew, which was a lot, she helped build my love for design and even if she would scale my designs up to 25000% to point out the one anchor point which was slightly off in my design, all I could do was laugh, fix it, and then bring that same level of detail to every project there after. More than a teacher, she became a lifelong influence I’ll always carry with me.
