About

I am a passionate graphic designer, driven by creativity and a commitment to excellence. Graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from James Madison University, I earned Summa Cum Laude honors. During my time at JMU, I was honored to serve as a Teaching Fellow and Studio Assistant in Printmaking, working closely with the head of the program, Jack McCaslin.

My work has been recognized with awards such as being a finalist in the nationwide design competition by the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) for my Social Sustainability Report for Cortazu B Corporation.

Beyond academics, I've worked as an Interior Design Associate at Two Steps Interiors: HP Design, and gained valuable hospitality experience at Local Chop & Grill House. My diverse skill set includes proficiency in various design software such as InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Web Flow, and XD. I am also skilled in traditional art forms such as drawing, film photography, book arts, wood working, and welding.
