bio

04 Apr.

1997

In 2015

Graduated from Nevada High School with the motivation of an engineer, but the heart of an artist. With only a hunch of what "graphic design" entailed, I started my studies at Iowa State University and discovered my intuition was correct.

2019

After 4 years of graphic design classes and an internship, I took my BFA and pursued my first full-time gig close to home as a multimedia designer. I learned the realm of "graphic design" was much broader than I ever could have imagined, as I learned many trades and wore many hats 🎩

2020

Amidst the pandemic, I discover a love for interface design and begin studying UX design independently. I accepted a new role as a visual designer and independently designed 20 apps and interactives before the new year - along with a plethora of multimedia projects.

Now

I have found my happy place as a product designer. I love balancing UX thinking with hands-on interface design - the best of both worlds!
