It all began in high school where my love for design emerged while shaping the visual identity of our school newspaper. This passion led me to pursue a BFA in Graphic Design with a minor in Photography at Oregon State University, As a California native, the allure of sunshine drew me back home to the Bay Area where I’m currently located.
With design expertise in packaging, digital, ecommerce, photography, social media, email, print, illustration, web, UX/UI and responsive design, my real passion is all things typography. From the iconic simplicity of Helvetica to the nuanced beauty of ligatures, I thrive in the intricate details that define outstanding design.
Beyond pixels and paper, I keep myself busy with lots of hobbies. Baking, skiing, camping, dancing, bike riding and podcasts keep me energized. All of these passions balance my life outside the world of design and help me come back to my work refreshed, energized and inspired. I always have a good story to share Monday morning!
