I tell stories.

Through compelling visuals, impactful brand identities, or intuitive platforms, my work has a way of connecting with others.

 

I’m fascinated by psychology and human behavior, and am always in search of what *clicks.* I approach design with curiosity and a sense of adventure, asking, “What else could this become? How can I accomplish the same goal in a different way, what changes could make this result even better?” 

I was born and raised in the midwest and have been in constant creative pursuit for as long as I can remember.

I always had a desire to explore new places and experience new things, but I still get homesick for my dad's chili and my mom's hugs.

My curiosity and passion were born of a childhood being encouraged to explore, and understand. To learn about the world by asking questions, playing make believe and running wild in fields and forests.

When I was seven years old, my dad put his hands on my shoulders and said, “As you grow up, remember that the most important question is always ‘why?’”

I’ll never forget that day.

These days...

​I have lived in Manhattan, NY since 2022, and continue to offer design services and consulting on a freelance basis. ​

On Paper

I like to be playful with design and I wanted this site to reflect that. So, now that we've had all the fun and you've gotten a preview into who I am as a creative, you can find the on paper stuff below (or have AI scan it if you're into that kind of thing.)
