I am a mixed race designer with a passion for communication and collaboration. I’ve spent my entire life in the Pacific Northwest, growing up in Portland, OR and obtained a BFA in Graphic Design in Corvallis, OR at Oregon State University. I am a critical thinker and problem solver. I chase after the breakthrough moment where all the pieces fall into place but am more driven by the feeling of gradual self-discovery through the design process. I love a spreadsheet, CRM software, and a to-do list. There is nothing more satisfying to me than starting out with a true problem statement and ending with something that really addresses all aspects of the original objective.
