About

I’m a passionate and creative artist with a BFA in Illustration from the Maryland Institute College of Art. My work centers on design and visual storytelling, with a strong focus on installing exhibits and blending physical and digital media to tell engaging narratives. I thrive in collaborative environments that encourage idea-sharing and innovative problem-solving, and I love contributing to projects that inspire and connect people through art.

I enjoy mentoring others, coordinating exhibitions and events, and bringing ideas to life through strong storytelling, composition, and hands-on art making. I am eager to apply professional, teaching, and design skills to dynamic, art-driven projects and teams.
