Hi,
I’m a passionate Senior Digital Designer and visual artist based in vibrant Portland, Oregon. Growing up in beautiful Colorado, I developed a lifelong appreciation for art and design. With a degree in Strategic Communications Media Design (basically, 'advertising') from the University of Colorado Boulder (SKO BUFFS!) and minors in Technology and Studio Arts, I've crafted a well-rounded approach to visual storytelling.
Whether I’m translating a client's vision into a compelling narrative or experimenting with new design trends, I thrive on pushing creative boundaries. I’m excited to connect with fellow design enthusiasts and continue evolving in this dynamic digital landscape.
Travel. Traveling is my favorite human experience. Whether it’s visiting Reno, Nevada, or Sorrento, Italy, I love exploring new places. As a dual citizen of the United States and Great Britain (sadly, no British accent), I've been lucky to visit the UK often. I also went on a backpacking adventure across Europe, covering 10 countries and exploring 15 cities over two months.
Plants. During the pandemic, I became a green thumb, growing my collection to over 40 plants. Still can’t keep a fiddle leaf fig alive, though.
Music. I know, I know, everyone loves music. I played the drums for a decade and was the #1 Colorado Springs youth drummer two years in a row! I’ve also seen hundreds of bands live, my favorites being Glass Animals and Nothing but Thieves.
The person behind the screen.
Art. My first passion and the reason I started my journey in design. I originally pursued painting in college but switched to design, to my parents' relief. Acrylics, pencil, and paper are my favorite media, and I’m now exploring photography too. See my latest work on my Instagram below.
Dodgeball. Not much of an athlete, but my partner and I are dodgeball league champs in Portland. While my throwing skills need work, I’ve got the dodging part down! Next, I’m looking to master pickleball.
True crime. No, I’m not a psychopath, but I do enjoy a good true crime podcast! Favorites include Morbid, RedHanded, Sword & Scale, and Crime Junkie. Sometimes, I mix it up with news from The Daily.
