IN BRIEF
I’m an interdisciplinary visual designer experienced in brand identity, experiential design, web, and more recently, illustration & animation. 

On occassion I’m also equipped with a camera—film & digital—for journalism, D1 collegiate athletics, weddings, and also for fun. I nerd out on type, am probably a filmmaker in another universe, and can never keep enough seltzers in the fridge.

In my free time I’m probably curating yet another spotify playlist, pretending to be a bartender, or out on a hike. 🎧🍸🥾
