Get to know me.
My story
With years of experience in the graphic design industry, I’ve honed my skills in creating visually compelling work that’s rooted in authenticity. My greatest source of inspiration? Nature. From textures and tones to organic shapes and wild spaces, I infuse natural elements into my designs and illustrations whenever I can—bringing a grounded, earthy feel to every project.
My creative journey started early. Sketching, illustrating, photographing, diving headfirst into anything artistic. That lifelong passion led me to pursue formal training in both graphic design (2013-2016) and interactive media studies (2017-2018), setting the stage for a career that I genuinely love. Today, I’m proud to be a full-time freelance designer and illustrator, helping brands and individuals bring their creative visions to life—one bold, meaningful design at a time.
A little bit more…
When I’m not behind the screen designing, you’ll find me soaking up the outdoors—whether it’s hiking scenic trails, paddleboarding local lakes, or exploring with my pup. For me, the creativity doesn’t stop there either; I’m often sketching for fun, experimenting in the kitchen with new recipes, or catching live music whenever I can. I’m all about balancing inspiration and downtime—hanging with my favorite people, bingeing great shows, and staying creativly inspired for my next big graphic design project.
