A bit about me

I’ve always been driven by a wide range of interests. As a teenager, I explored photography and developed an eye for composition and color. In college, that curiosity took me in a completely different direction: I studied oceanography and became interested in research, analysis, and the natural world. Since then, I’ve picked up experience across customer service, events, communications, and digital work.

Design brings those threads together. It gives me a place to combine my curiosity, creative instincts, and analytical side while solving problems for real people. I enjoy understanding how things work, finding connections between seemingly unrelated ideas, and turning what I learn into tangible, useful experiences.

I’m as interested in people as I am in the systems and stories around them, and I’m happiest when I’m learning, making, and exploring something new.

Outside of design, I enjoy getting outside, going to shows, and taking far too many iPhone pics. You can find some of my other creative projects here.
