I am a Graphic Designer who has lived many lives. I’ve been a construction worker, college student, a soldier, a diesel mechanic, photographer, backpacker, designer, and now soon to be a college graduate. Although life has not gone the way that I had originally planned, I think it's shaped my thinking in a way that may reflect in my work. It’s taught me to take my time, it's ok if things don't go as planned and to try not to rush things. When things are rushed in life, many details may be overlooked. When working in design, Photoshop is where I have the most fun. It's where I enjoy experimenting with composition, color, and image manipulation to bring ideas to life. I’m especially drawn to projects that allow for creativity and personality. I thrive when I can push concepts beyond the obvious. In addition to graphic design, I am absolutely obsessed with photography and travel, which often inspires my design work. So far I have been to eleven different countries and thirty states. Exploring new places and capturing moments helps shape my perspective and fuels my creativity. I’m also a dedicated animal lover and I especially enjoy working on projects centered around animals, whether through branding, illustration, or conceptual design.
