Hi! It's nice to meet you!

I am a designer who believes in the potential of humanistic design decisions. I create seamless user experiences enhanced by illustrative story telling and data visualisation techniques.

Having completed my MFA in Graphic Design from Penn State University, I have experience working on a wide range of projects, both as a print and digital designer. I specialise in adding unique touches to create an evocative story that transcends mediums.

I am an obsessive sketch book keeper and love making zines. I catalogue everything - from books to my favorite food to random specimens from nature. I also have an Etsy shop where I sell small prints like postcards and bookmarks.

In short, I am a storyteller who does not shy away from trying new things!
