Creativity has always
been part of
who I am.
Growing up, I naturally gravitated toward art. I loved drawing and creating, but I didn't really know where that could take me. My parents were the ones who introduced me to graphic design, and by my senior year of high school, I was hooked. It gave me a way to turn something I loved into a career.
I got my start in print, where I learned the importance of craft, production, and attention to detail. I also made plenty of mistakes along the way. Some were "happy accidents," while others simply taught me to try something differently the next time.
Those early experiences taught me to experiment, adapt, and not be afraid of getting things wrong. I still carry that mindset into how I approach design today.

Work that made an impact.
I've had the opportunity to create work for a wide range of organizations and audiences, and it's always meaningful when others in the industry recognize it.
Over the years, projects I've designed and contributed to have received state and national recognition across branding, publications, visual communications, and campaign work. For me, the awards are less about the trophy and more about knowing the work connected, communicated clearly, and did what it was created to do.
