a creative who won't make matters worse *
Hi! You made it to my portfolio! Cool!
I'm a multidisciplinary creative with expertise in graphic design, art direction, editorial design, photography, animation, and visual art. I build powerful, strategic visuals that command attention and that aim to tell stories with impact. From leading editorial projects to crafting brand campaigns, I can move seamlessly across mediums—bringing sharp creative vision, technical skill, and bold ideas to every project. My projects mean a lot to me, thanks for taking a minute to explore.
-
In college, I was a staff member and editor for our art magazine, leading a team to produce a biannual print journal. This taught me the editorial process and shaped my design approach. I aim to create compelling spreads that enhance stories. I’m eager to illustrate for any editorial project, using collage, abstract illustration, or custom visuals. I enjoy pushing creative boundaries to bring visions to life.
-
I love shaping the bigger picture. Whether it's a campaign, a publication, or a branded series, I bring creative concepts to life with a strong visual point of view. From ideation to execution, I focus on cohesive storytelling, collaboration, and the details that make the difference. I’ve gotten the chance to dip into art direction through my job at Duke University.
-
I use motion to extend meaning. Whether it’s kinetic typography, a looping illustration, or animated assets for social, I make work that feels alive. I aim for clarity, energy, and motion that elevates—never distracts. While I’ve mostly used my animation for social or to bolster multimedia videos for Duke’s channels—I’m interested in furthering my animation skills.
-
My design work spans print, digital, and physical spaces. I approach every project with curiosity, attention to typography, and a commitment to form and function. Whether I’m designing a T-shirt, an event poster, or a full brand system, I care about how things look—and how they work.
-
My photo work centers around story and light—capturing moments that feel honest, expressive, and intentional. I’ve shot portraits, weddings, still life, and documentation with an editorial eye and a visual artist’s approach to light, framing, and texture.
-
This is where I play. My visual art explores mixed media, collage, drawing, and print processes—often blending physical and digital methods. I’m drawn to texture, composition, and the idea of making something that feels layered, a little offbeat, and emotionally resonant.
-
I've worked within museum and gallery settings to support exhibitions, design materials, and think through how art is shared with the public. I care deeply about accessibility, context, and creating experiences that honor both the work and the viewer.
-
I design with the scroll in mind—creating assets that are visually sharp, platform-optimized, and audience-aware. From campaign graphics to branded templates, I support social media teams by making content that feels current, cohesive, and on-brand.
-
I build visual identities that feel grounded, flexible, and alive. My branding work combines strategic thinking with strong design instincts—whether I’m creating from scratch or evolving an existing system. Most recently, I helped shape the look and feel of Duke University’s Centennial, developing a brand system that honors the past while looking forward. I love the process of translating big ideas into visuals that resonate, scale, and stand the test of time.
