My background in the humanities has taught me different systems for thinking and making. These give a strong conceptual basis to my design work. I look for projects that intersect with my continual passion for literatures and cultures. I have over five years of practical experience in graphic design and screenprinting, as well as international experience from travel and study abroad.
