I’m a recent graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, where I was a double major in communication design and social and political history. The intersection of design and history has made me more cognizant of how all designed systems–from voting ballots and public transportation signage to school district zoning and highway construction–determine how we navigate our everyday lives.
Through my work, I am constantly attempting to find novel creative solutions through research-driven digital and printed media which educates, uplifts, and delivers both utility and joy. I use communication design as a vehicle to connect with the public and inspire people to read, learn, and engage critically with the world around them. I believe embracing emotion and soul as the driving force of my work helps me to most effectively connect with others. If something I've been a part of creating has resonated, inspired, enraged, brought someone to tears, etc., it’s been worthwhile.
Outside of work, I love beading, cooking good food for my loved ones, sleeping outside, long walks anywhere, and trying to feel stronger. Feel free to reach out regarding any of the aforementioned topics.
