A BIT ABOUT ME
I am an infinitely curious designer who is always learning new tricks of the trade and seeking out inspiration in the field. I'm grateful to work with an incredibly supportive team whose ingenuity and talent blows my mind on a daily basis.
Every opportunity I'm given to take on new design challenges, I strive to exceed expectations creatively with equal parts wit and grit. When I'm not designing you can find me seeing shows to support local musicians or at home playing guitar.
