For as long as I can remember, from the very first time I tore open a crayon box, and made long lines across the walls of my childhood room, I've been an artist. Though, as a child, I was pretty unaware of this, my passion for expressing myself began at that moment, and my ability to story-tell, create and obsess over every little detail was born. It wasn't until college did I realize what all that beautiful mess was about. Today, I'm a simple designer, and moreover, I know what I like. From the rustic to the clean, the chaotic to the quiet, my style is varied, eclectic and usually never the same, but overtly modern and maybe a little addicted to lots of white space. I'm a color fanatic, and while I love a good monotone, color is a transformative aspect that can make or break a project.

I enjoy exploring this in most of my work, and while my record may not be long, I desire the most to work with brands, companies, and people and solve their most loath-worthy problems. From branding, packaging to digital output, I most enjoy exploring something new, and making all efforts to master it, or at least understand it. I take risks, I have a huge desire to collaborate, and just want to make the world a more beautiful space. Nature, good food, great conversations, and amazing people push me to be a better designer and an even better person.
