Hey stranger,
I'm a lifelong creative who uses design to tell stories, build experiences, and connect us.
Originally from California, I'm a senior studying Communications design with a minor in Public Communications design at Syracuse University. While I've had 10 years of experience with design I've always been a creative person looking to solve problems and connect with others.
Design is all about storytelling; blending together the right elements to create solutions that resonate with audiences. It's always my goal through my work to create concepts and solutions that resonate with the intended audiences and allow people to connect to any products, brand, or experience I'm working on.
Being able to fit into new environments and build relationships has always my favorite part about our industry, as every project requires you to immerse yourself in a new space. That said I am looking for a new space, so give my portfolio and resume a look, and let's talk
