My interest in graphic design began when I started making GIFs to post on Tumblr as a chronically-online teenager. Between managing my blog and constantly changing layouts on Myspace years earlier, I developed a basic understanding of web design and graphic design became a hobby.
Before graduating high school, I started exploring all things photography and found myself captivated by this intersection of creativity and technology. I devoured everything I could about the technical side of taking pictures, from Photoshop, to studio lighting, and even astrophotography on cloudless nights.
Currently, I’m the creative lead at Lindera Farms, a craft vinegar producer just outside of Northern Virginia. I create product labels, promotional materials, and manage our Shopify storefront. I’ve enjoyed the opportunity to work with celebrity chef duo Sohla and Ham El-Waylly to design a collaborative product between them and Lindera Farms.
While utility is my main priority, I always aim to find new ways to keep the fun in functional. With that in mind, I try to explore different styles, methods, and tools to create interesting and eclectic designs.
I expect to graduate in May 2024 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from George Mason University.
I can regularly be found sitting on the floor doing arts and crafts like painting, stamp-making, and embroidery. Outside of work, school, and design, I spend my time hanging out with my cat Jeebs and playing board games with anyone who knows how to shuffle cards.
