what i do.

build stories.

I thrive in a workplace with constant challenges and varied projects. I throw myself into research and discovery, immersing myself into the details to find threads to pull out and combine into something tangible with texture and depth. This is the foundation for every project, and I believe this base should be strong and solid before building on top of it. I love getting down to the core of every design question: what is it that will connect people to the brand, and how do we expand this idea into a full story?

see DIFFERENTLY.

The path I took to becoming a graphic designer was not traditional. I have found that my perspective on how things work, are perceived, can be combined, and what is possible, is unique. I find solutions that may not be seen by other designers. I pull from every aspect of my experience of being a human, from every industry, every job type with any subject matter, every visual, every sound, every conversation, and create something that makes people stop, look longer, and think.

create everything.

I love creating. In my free time, I work. On the weekends, I work. I love working, because it means I get to create things all of the time. It is what I was made to do. Each day, I go to my studio, sit at my computer, or my craft table, and start working on something I love.

Right now, I am working on designing a pack of playing cards in the style of Russian fairytale artist Ivan Bilibin, designing a Romantasy board game, I am writing a Victorian Gothic horror novel based on my childhood, with illustrations, I am weaving on my loom, I am working on an embroidery project for curtains in my home, creating paint chips for print work, I am designing websites, and making digital art. Creating gives me immense joy and contentment in my every day life.

I am excited about making videos, 3D concept art, fashion + costume design, print design, cover design, writing fiction, digital art, branding + identity work, ad design, design strategy, redesigns, publication design, environment design, and package design.
