During college and directly after, I gained hands-on experience through three internships. At the Association of People Supporting Employment First and BroadFutures, I learned how thoughtful design can communicate ideas clearly and make an impact. Later, as an account management intern at New Honor Society, I got a front-row seat to the advertising world—collaborating with creative teams, learning how campaigns come together, and seeing how big-picture strategy drives great design. That experience really shaped how I approach my work and think about the creative process.

Most of my growth, though, has come from working in fast-paced print shops. Starting at Design N Print, and now at Hi/Tec Copy Center, I get to design everything from business cards to banners in Adobe Creative Suite, working directly with clients to bring their ideas to life. I thrive on juggling multiple projects, adapting designs on the fly, and making sure every piece is polished and client-ready. Nothing beats the moment a client sees the finished product and lights up—it’s what keeps me excited about design every day.

In addition to my passion for producing great design work, I also enjoy glassblowing and fusing, printmaking, Disney movies, and playing Dungeons and Dragons with my family and friends.

I am driven to use my creative talents to help others, and I aspire to work with mission-driven clients who are dedicated to making the world a better place. I believe in the power of good design to make brands more inclusive and accessible, and I aim to use my creative and innovative skills to make a meaningful difference in people's lives.
