[ They / He ]
A Seattle-based graphic designer with Californian roots, I'm a recent graduate of the Seattle Central Creative Academy.
I'm most drawn to the quiet magic found within the realms of branding, packaging, and print.
Before falling in love with graphic design, I spent years in the service industry as both a medical receptionist and barista. Through my work, I was able to sharpen my empathy, attention to detail, and my ability to connect with people from all walks of life.

Thank You:
Thank you so much to all of the wonderful and lovely people who have aided me in making it this far. I truly don't know where I would be without you, and I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to be doing what I love.
A very special thank you to my best friend and soulmate: Sunni, and my precious dog Sascha. To my amazing family, whom I love dearly, and to my friends who have supported me through many long nights — and even longer phone calls — thank you.
Being part of the incredible program at the Seattle Central Creative Academy has turned my world upside down in all the best ways. I am eternally grateful to each beautiful soul there who has helped shape my journey for the better.
