Hello!

I’m a visual designer and illustrator based in Minneapolis, MN, with a passion for thoughtful, people-centered design. I’m a collaborative problem solver and a lifelong student of many disciplines, bringing curiosity and adaptability into every project. My background in sports shaped me into a strong team player—someone who shows up prepared, communicates clearly, and works hard to help the team succeed.

My design ethos is rooted in listening and collaboration. The best solutions emerge when diverse perspectives are welcomed, feedback is valued, and ideas are refined with intention. Outside of design, you’ll find me traveling, watching movies, and seeking out great food—always inspired by new experiences and stories that influence how I think, create, and connect.
