A bit about me -
I'm devoted to design and the harmony it creates between products and the people who use them.
My work is built on one principle: deliver outcomes with user-first clarity. I focus on designing thoughtful, lasting solutions that balance creativity, usability, and intent.
I studied classical painting and graphic design at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), which taught me to move fluidly between art and technology. That mix of structure and experimentation still drives my work today.
I'm direct, curious, and collaborative — someone who looks for solutions, not just problems. I believe great design comes from asking better questions, dreaming big - then reeling in, cutting through noise, and building things that truly earn their place in people's lives.
When I'm not designing, you'll usually find me painting, gaming (both PC and tabletop), baking or cooking something from scratch, reading (shoutout to Goodreads), lifting at the gym, or off on an adventure with my 110-pound dog, Fenrir.
