[ They / He ]
A Seattle-based graphic designer with Californian roots, I'm currently a senior at 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 platonic soulmate: Sunni, and my precious dog Sascha. To my amazing family, who 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 SCCA 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.
Thank you.
