PROFILE

My Story

I am a graphic designer based out of the Bay Area

I'm passionate about pop culture and story-telling through design. I am experienced in marketing,

branding, icon design, and illustration. I like to build from white and like to keep things minimalistic, modern, and bold. Drawing inspiration from the Bauhaus Design era and Designer Dieter Rams I appreciate simplicity. I can usually be found organizing an infographic or

obsessively drawing vector art in Illustrator. My goal is to create impactful visuals that are relevant to today’s changing world, while reinforcing key design principles. When I'm not designing, I'm either playing ice hockey, watching an interesting show, taking small or large trips, or expanding my knowledge.
