Artist Statement
I've always been obsessed with handwriting. This interest evolved over the years by diligently practicing cursive in grade school to forcing myself to turn all lowercase a's into double stories (luckily, I've dropped that time-intensive habit). Over the years, I developed a keen eye for letterforms, layout & design. Through training in college, internships & freelance opportunities, I've continued to hone my craft through advertising, branding, packaging & typography. I have client experience in packaging design, branding & logos, social media graphics, sales & marketing collateral, illustration & much more.
My path to becoming a designer hasn't always been linear. Still, along the way, I've been fortunate to gain lots of experience working in various roles across numerous industries. These experiences have molded me into a diligent project manager, intentional communicator & extremely dependable team player. What I love most about design is that every project is a chance to solve a new problem creatively & I look forward to taking on work that allows me to challenge myself, explore boundaries & help others.
