I'm glad you found me!
I'm an adventurous creator with a passion for designing visuals that grab attention, spark engagement, and leave a lasting impact. I thrive on collaborating with teams and transforming concepts into experiences that elevate brands, always with a sharp eye for detail and a commitment to producing purposeful designs.
School
I earned my degree in Entertainment/Media Studies and Studio Art from the University of Georgia, where I learned to bring ideas to life through design. As a Zell Miller Scholar, I got a chance to immerse myself in graphic and web design, using tools like the Adobe Suite, and Figma to turn my concepts into reality. With these skills I was able to create cohesive branding, user-friendly websites, and immersive animations.
Design
After school, I pivoted into corporate design as a graphic designer at Veugeler Creative in Atlanta, Georgia. While still engaging in local branding, this position gave me the added opportunity to create assets for automotive dealerships, alongside designing for exciting events. Following my move to NYC, I began an internship as designer for Hudson and Nine, a luxury event organization, before landing a digital design role at Medtronic. My breadth of experiences has taught me a lot about the world, corporate and agency life, and the creative community.
Cool Biz
I enjoy my time outside of work by illustrating, and have had my artwork purchased by hospitals, featured in literary magazines and auctioned off at events. I love to travel, and am currently working on a long term side-project: building out an RV to make exploring more readily accessible. My goal is to visit every national park, and eventually every state in the U.S! I truly believe exploring heightens one's appreciation for creativity and design, and can't wait to continue pursuing my career alongside these hobbies.
Whether it’s through design that tells a compelling story or an event experience that leaves a mark, I’m looking forward to designing boldly with you! Visit my contact page for more information, and feel free to reach out with any inquiries.
