I am an enthusiastic and thoughtful designer with a focus on creating impact through an interdisciplinary practice of graphic design, architecture, and critical discourse. My approach to design begins with a large heart, a sense of humor, and an open-mind. I aspire to share my passion with those I work with, and positively influence the audiences I create for.
