I always knew I would have a career related to creativity, I just didn’t know what it would be. Since I started playing video games at 7 years old, the level of detail within fascinated me as the gaming graphics became more advanced. Once I knew that game design was a career choice, I chose to study and complete a bachelor's degree in game design.
Graphic design offers many possibilities for creativity. The tricky but fun part is finding the best solutions to a design problem. I love working within a grid system and finding a balance of type, negative space, and anything and everything else in between.
After receiving my BFA in graphic design at the American Academy of Art in Chicago, I am enthusiastic about honing my skills and designing final products with well-used negative space, visually appealing layouts, and beautiful typography. With critical thinking and research, my passion will bring forth creative solutions and designs to make our world a beautiful and engaging place to live in.
When I am not busy designing, you can find me rereading a favorite book or enjoying a Lord of the Rings movie marathon for the gazillionth time.
