About me
I am a designer, social media creator, and workshop facilitator. My creative interests lay in creating work rooted in a combination of caring societal practices and creative education. My work spans many disciplines including publication design, printmaking, branding, and web design. I aim to meaningfully engage with my audience through whichever medium is most appropriate, as I place more emphasis on the potential discussion generated by my work. The “what” of the work is important, but the “why” matters even more.
