Anything that has to do with art is where I want to be. My passion began when I started reading manga at age twelve and taught myself to draw by sketching the characters that I admired. With my degree in visual communication, I’m able to incorporate my artistic passion to create a unique visual journey for brands. When given a project, my favorite part is design ideation. Figuring out what I can do to make a design stand out and feel new. Simply put, I love what I do. Being able to create professionally has always been my dream and I love working with others that share the same enthusiasm for art and design.

I live in Arizona where I spend most of my time outdoors, with family or my cat Mochi. I hope one day to visit all the National Parks!
