Available to hire
I am a multidisciplinary designer, illustrator, and educator with a passion for brand identity, storytelling, and forging inclusive creative spaces. Based between Montreal and Cleveland, with clients and connections to my former life in Paris, I collaborate with clients on branding, packaging, web visuals, and promotional materials, always focusing on thoughtful design and clear communication.
I value diversity, equity, and community, and I actively volunteer with and advocate for other queer and neurodiverse peoples and their perspectives in the word of design. I enjoy building safe, welcoming spaces for collaboration and learning, while continually growing my skills across branding, illustration, web design, and educational support.
