I’m a graphic designer based in Los Angeles, living with my husband, toddler, and two cats. Before finding my way into design, I spent time teaching middle school. I later pursued an MFA in Graphic Design at ArtCenter, an experience that deeply influenced the way I approach design—thoughtfully, intentionally, and with attention to nuance.
Outside of my work, I’m drawn to stories and experiences that feel immersive and emotionally resonant. I love narrative-driven video games, visually rich films, and spend much of my free time exploring interior design—experimenting with texture, material, color, and space simply out of curiosity. These interests inform my design philosophy, which centers on clarity, restraint, and emotional intention. I’m drawn to work that feels calm and considered—design that creates atmosphere, respects the viewer’s attention, and communicates feeling with quiet confidence.
