As a visual designer with a background in fine art, I take a hands-on, exploratory approach to design. I am especially drawn to projects that allow me to experiment with color and composition while incorporating hand-crafted elements. My creative practice is also shaped by my connection to nature. I spend much of my free time outdoors—hiking, camping, or exploring tide pools—experiences that shape my approach to design and my commitment to sustainability. My creative work is inspired by folklore and storytelling, leading me to incorporate narrative elements in my design process. I aim to create designs that are thoughtful, grounded, and informed by observation and exploration.
