I took a non-traditional path into design, starting with newspaper layout, where I developed a strong focus on typography, composition, and storytelling—foundations that still guide my work today.
In 2015, I moved from Indiana to Colorado for better access to the outdoors and started as a Design Intern/Receptionist at an agency in Fort Collins. Despite the title, I never once picked up the phone—by the end of my first week, I was fully immersed in design work.
At the agency, I explored just about every corner of design: creating fully custom websites, building out photography services, expanding video offerings, and so much more. As a member of Front Range Community College’s Multimedia and Graphic Design Advisory Board, I’ve participated in portfolio reviews, shaped curriculum, supported student shows, and even led a semester-long branding project.
When I’m not designing, you’ll find me biking, reading, or off exploring new places. My perfect car? No car at all. I’m also on a mission to visit every state in the U.S.—41 down, 9 to go—and I make a pretty great batch of homemade Oreos.
