I'm a Milwaukee-based graphic designer and designer-by-training, currently pursuing a BFA in Communication Design with a copywriting minor. I love crafting clear, compelling visuals that tell a story—from posters and packaging to immersive exhibits. My experience ranges from theatre marketing assets to museum exhibitions, collaborating with teams to produce print and digital assets, content for newsletters, and social media. I'm proficient with the Adobe Creative Suite, InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and UX-related tools, and I enjoy turning ideas into tangible design that resonates with audiences.
