Meet the Designer

I was born and raised in central North Carolina by a creative family; my dad is a bassist and my mom is a visual artist. Thanks to my family's encouragement, I have always explored creative means of expression. I started out with traditional arts, using mediums such as graphite and acrylics. When I reached middle school, I was gifted my first digital drawing tablet and I fell in love with the digital arts.

It has been quite a while since I got that Wacom tablet, but since then, I have completed many projects ranging from flyers and social media posts to entire brand systems. In these projects, I have refined my workflow, expanded my skillset, and established myself as a professional graphic designer.

Outside of my design work, I love to revisit my traditional art roots and experiment with new mediumsโ€” check out my experiments page!
