Biography

A multidisciplinary graphic design student with three years of professional experience on a brand/marketing team, and six years of experience with front-end web development. I craft visuals that bridge the gap between old and new; exploring mythology, politics, and storytelling.

When not designing, I’m likely crocheting, building mechanical keyboards, or writing.
