Professionally

I am a graphic designer born and raised in Chicago, IL. I realized my passion for design after enjoying a graphic design class at DePaul University so much that I switched my major from Game Design to Graphic Design. Initially, design was mostly a career path I would enjoy but as I researched and practiced more I came to understand how powerful it can be. Design is essential and universal. The limitless application of design is what I love most about it.

​

My interest within the field of graphic design is branding because it combines many different aspects of design and includes other practices. I also find it satisfying to be a part of something larger than myself. To build or contribute to a brand is the opportunity to create an ideology that can outlast lifetimes. Although my main interest is in branding, I genuinely believe that I can produce all facets of graphic design to the same high quality. I'm versatile and quick to adapt so I’m always ready for whatever design challenge is ahead.

 

What separates me from other designers is my ability to connect with people, pinpoint key problems, and then implement a logical way to solve them. When someone asks me to design, the first thing I do is try to get a deep understanding of what they’re asking of me. Only then can I start brainstorming based on prioritized needs. Every design is personal but I don't design for myself. I always design for the complete satisfaction of the person I’m collaborating with. There’s no better moment than when I know I gave the client exactly what they asked for and we've reached a conclusion we're both happy with.

Personally

I am like my designs. Simple and straightforward. I’m a very easygoing person that, for the most part, goes with the flow and makes the best out of any situation.

​

My passion outside of design is music. I think music is one of the highest forms of creativity because it can make people feel things that words alone fail to do. For me, it's all about the energy and connections that music makes. Almost everyone listens to music so there’s a pathway to help people from all backgrounds to relate to each other.

​

When I’m not designing, listening to and creating music, or sleeping I’m hanging out with friends. I'm convinced I'm an introvert but somehow I ended up with a huge group of friends from all different backgrounds. If I have any free time it’ll probably be spent catching up and being there for any of my friends that need it.
