Hello.
From an early age, it was clear I was destined to become a graphic designer. I recall spending countless hours meticulously spacing bubble letters on school projects, often teasing classmates for having to hyphenate words like "birthday" because they hadn’t properly adjusted their handwriting to fit the page. Fast forward 25 years, and I still find it hard to overlook typography that isn’t properly tracked or kerned.
With twelve years of professional experience as a Graphic Designer, five years of formal education at the University of Cincinnati’s College of DAAP, and six co-op terms working with diverse companies, I have honed my skills and helped numerous brands grow. Today, I confidently embrace my identity as a Graphic Designer, while remaining passionate about learning and improving every day.
My approach combines a deep understanding of design principles with a strategic mindset focused on delivering results. Whether it’s developing brand identities, designing marketing materials, or crafting digital experiences, I am committed to creating thoughtful, visually engaging solutions that resonate with audiences. The ever-evolving nature of design keeps me inspired, and I continually seek new challenges to push the boundaries of creativity and innovation.
