Drawing myself as…

I’m a graphic designer with a passion for brand and packaging design, but my love for visuals started long before I ever opened Adobe Illustrator. Growing up in Philadelphia, I was surrounded by the curvy silhouettes, bold lines, and vibrant colors of midcentury modern furniture that my father would buy and resell. Each piece told its own story, and I was captivated by the way design could spark emotion and create meaning.

That fascination only deepened during my undergraduate studies in film and media, where I learned how to dissect and decode all things visual. To me, every poster, package, or logo is a conversation between the designer and the viewer—a dialogue I wanted to join. My quarter-life epiphany came when I realized I didn’t just want to study visuals; I wanted to create them. So, I packed my bags, headed west, and have embarked on earning my master’s in Strategic Communication Design at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

Since then, I’ve fallen head over heels for the world of graphic design. My biggest inspirations are legends like Paula Scher and Saul Bass, who prove that good design isn’t just beautiful—it’s iconic, intentional, and unforgettable. Their work reminds me why I’m so drawn to this field: design has the power to tell a story in a single glance.

These days, I see the world with new eyes. The grocery store isn’t just a chore; it’s a treasure hunt for brilliant packaging. A stroll down the street is a chance to admire the typography of a hand-painted sign. I believe great design is everywhere—it’s just waiting to be noticed. I’m here to create work that makes people stop, look, and feel something real.
