PROFILE

Creative, mission-driven and inventive designer who thrives on making art though many mediums and the opportunity to pick up new skills! I am humble, ready to learn and listen and always show up to work ready to work hard. I am a pro at time management from my time working with small businesses, and unfazed by the prospect of executing a project from start to finish and juggling multiple clients at once-some of my favorite clients have been working with LARQ to personalize bottles for the cast of The Expanse, customizing lacrosse sticks for NASA, making awards for Marriott and AIGA and lots of signage for local businesses. I love to think out of the box and grow as an artist and I’m looking for my next challenge!
