I’m a passionate, fun-loving designer specializing in brand identity, illustration, and character design. Outside of design, I enjoy reading webcomics and graphic novels, and listening to DnD podcasts.  

For me, design is more than just aesthetics—it’s a powerful form of visual communication and storytelling. Whether it’s to sell a product or service, or to bring awareness to an important cause. Design is a crucial part of forming connections and effectively improving our community. When I work with clients, my main goal is to ensure that the final design exceeds in speaking its purpose and reaching its audience. 

I’ve worked with a variety of clients ranging from non profits and small businesses to start-ups, In-house teams, and creative agencies. I’m currently open to freelance work and junior designer positions, primarily in Portland, OR.  Though I’m open to remote opportunities. If you’re a fellow creative, I’d love to connect! I’m always excited to meet new people in the creative community.
