I’m a graphic designer with a background in user experience design and illustration. It’s my final year of pursuing a Bachelor of Graphic & Experience Design at North Carolina State University. I have experience working in tight-knit design teams where I create charming brand systems and physical artifacts. I am most inspired when I craft visual worlds to resonate with niche communities. Design should make you feel understood.


I believe that design should also create good memories. As the daughter of a photographer, my life has been surrounded by the magic of capturing moments. I strive to evoke that same influence with my work, where an artifact as simple as a note card can bring someone back to a warm moment.


Outside of design, you might find me cycling to a cafe, hand-building a ceramic planter, or peeling a Sumo Citrus.
