My expertise includes concept development, 360 campaigns, brand identity, web design, CPG packaging, print layout, storyboarding, photo direction, and illustration. I’ve led projects from concept to execution, thrive in fast-paced environments, consistently meet deadlines, present with confidence, and embrace feedback as a valuable part of the creative process. I bring a collaborative approach to every project and believe mentorship is a key component of creative teams.

Currently, I work full-time as a remote Art Director at Marlin Connections, an agency specializing in the food and beverage space, while pursuing my MFA in Graphic Design at the Academy of Art University. Balancing professional work with graduate studies challenges me to think more holistically and encourages me to continue evolving as a designer. Design is my profession and my calling.

I hold a BA in Graphic Design from Cleveland State University and have worked with clients at local, national, and international levels. My work created with agency teams has been recognized by the American Advertising Awards. Independently, my work has been recognized by AIGA and Adobe Create. Most recently, I was featured as a 2025 Student to Watch by Graphic Design USA.
