About
Design shouldn’t stop at the edge of a monitor.
My creative practice is built around the belief that the best brand experiences are physical and immersive. Through my freelance work painting murals and creating hand-crafted window displays, I’ve learned firsthand how scale, paint, lighting, and spatial architecture fundamentally change how people feel when they interact with a brand.
I’ve balanced my business and full-time work while maintaining a 4.0 GPA in a condensed three-year design program at Arizona State University, graduating in spring 2027. That has given me the discipline and hustle to carry complex physical projects from concept to cleanup.
I’m looking to bring this maker mindset to a team that loves pushing design into physical spaces: print, packaging, exhibits, installations, and murals. I’m open to other design opportunities too.

Miette & Co
Brand identity and packaging for a dog leash brand
Overview
A brand identity and packaging system for Miette & Co, a refined dog leash brand.
Process
The project began with a moodboard and loose sketches of logos and packaging, then refined into a script wordmark and a box and sleeve system.

Madison Youth Choir Posters
Spring and fall show posters for Madison Youth Choirs
Overview
A two-poster set for the Madison Youth Choirs spring and fall shows: Vanishing Voices and Viral.
Vanishing Voices
The concert theme is endangered languages. The custom, handmade type draws on patterns and designs from different Indigenous tribes and cultures, inspired directly by the songs being performed.
Viral
Inspired by popular jazz posters, with a color palette and layout that coordinate with Vanishing Voices so the two read as a set.
