More about Me
More about Me

I started my career obsessing over letterforms, vintage color palettes, and tried to get my hands on all types of mediums.

After going to a local community college, I had my first job into a design agency where i learned all about client work, workflows, website work, and how to ultimately take my career to the next stage. I worked with tons of small businesses, non-profit organizations, and ultimately found the niche I really loved. I fell in love with making a difference in the work I was doing, specifically for smaller businesses.

Later down the line I had the opportunity to work with a local cannabis retailer and help scale their business, build brand recognition and creatively lead the next phase of their business. I then moved to a design studio which I lead, working with Native american tribes in the cannabis space.

As for now? I'm freelance full-time working with the projects and clients that keep me inspired.
