I recently graduated from Kutztown University with a BFA in Communication Design, focusing on UX/UI Design and Graphic Design. Over the last few years, I’ve had the opportunity to work on everything from branding and social media to digital experiences and visual storytelling, which has helped me discover the kind of designer I want to be. Most recently, I completed an internship with Tesseract Ventures, where I worked on brand guidelines, UX/UI prototypes, digital assets, and pitch decks. I loved being part of a team that was constantly exploring new ideas and technologies, and it taught me how to take complex concepts and turn them into clear, engaging visual experiences. I’ve also worked as a Student Designer at Kutztown University, creating posters, event branding, and digital campaigns for a variety of campus initiatives. One of my favorite parts of that role was collaborating with professors, staff, and other students to bring ideas to life and support the creative community that helped shape me as a designer. Outside of design work, I managed social media for both the Kutztown Communication Design Department and the Kutztown Men’s Volleyball Club. Through those roles, I combined design, photography, video, and content creation to tell stories, grow engagement, and create a consistent visual presence. I’m someone who enjoys learning, collaborating, and finding creative solutions to problems. Whether I’m designing a brand identity, building a digital experience, or creating content for social media, I’m always looking for ways to make ideas more engaging, accessible, and meaningful.
