I am a Communication Designer passionate about storytelling and transforming ideas into engaging, impactful designs. I thrive at the intersection of creativity and strategy, crafting visually compelling solutions with thoughtful execution.
I'm currently a senior at the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design, majoring in Communication Design and graduating in early May 2025. I have a strong passion for typography, brand identity, and sports design.
Throughout college, I’ve completed three internships that have strengthened my skills in branding, marketing, and visual communication. From social media content and email campaigns to motion graphics and print materials, I’ve gained experience in both corporate and creative environments.
When I’m not designing, you’ll find me discovering new music, watching animated films, or getting lost in a good book.
