Nice to meet you!

Ever since I can remember, I have loved looking at things. Captivated by the visual world, I designed my very first flyer at the age of 6 - it was for my stuffed animal’s (quite literally) small business and it was approximately 1.5”x2”.

Art in general is my passion, but the ever-evolving nature of design specifically keeps me inspired and innovative. Whether it's crafting a sleek logo or designing a striking poster, each project is an opportunity to blend creativity with functionality. Its unique blend of self-expression and connection with audiences make it an art form that continues to resonate deeply with me.

My Interests

My cats, Kisa, Lunchbox, and Pickle, are my life! I love climbing and snowboarding. I also enjoy car camping at festivals in my beloved Subaru Forester.

I collect pictures of weird signage and am completely devoted to Pop Punk music.
