About Me
Hi, I’m a visual designer based in Sacramento, California with a love for clean visuals, clever concepts, and cold brew coffee. I graduated Cum Laude from California State University, Chico in 2019 with a B.A. in Communication Design with an option in Graphic Design, along with a double minor in Journalism (with a focus on Public Relations) and Gender & Sexuality Studies. My academic background taught me the importance of clear communication and intentional design, which are skills I use daily in my work.
After graduation, I traded textbooks for train tickets and solo-traveled across Europe. 29 cities, 11 countries, and countless espressos later, I returned home with fresh perspective, a ton of creative inspiration, and a mildly useful amount of French.
Design has always been my way of making sense of the world. I’m especially passionate about data visualization and love the challenge of turning raw information into something beautiful, functional, and easy to understand. Whether I’m creating a detailed infographic or building out a full brand identity, I approach every project with curiosity, strategy, and a strong attention to detail.
I’m constantly seeking out new techniques and tools to grow as a designer. I believe great design doesn’t just look good. It solves problems, tells stories, and connects people. I care deeply about craft, clarity, and helping clients bring their vision to life in ways that feel uniquely “them.”
When I’m not designing, I’m probably moving. I love yoga classes at The Space, training for the next race, or just going for a long walk with a good playlist. I’m also an avid reader with a yearly goal of 100 books (fiction, non-fiction, and everything in between). And if I’m not doing one of those things, chances are I’m at a local coffee shop sipping a cold brew and pretending I’m not eavesdropping on the next great character study.
