About me
I'm a multidisciplinary designer that especially enjoys working with UX/UI design, motion graphics, advertising, and branding. My approach to design and communication comes from an explorative position, always asking why rather than how. I'm a firm believer in taking personal responsibility for everything you do and create, and I try to bring that to all my projects.
Projects
  • I Am Angry Editorial Piece
    I Am Angry Editorial PieceAn editorial piece exploring masculinity and gender norms through the words of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
  • Stonewall Variable
    Stonewall VariableThis brief, set by the type foundry Vocal Type asked to develop a typeface that represented and promoted a movement or issue we cared about or felt a personal connection to. I chose to work with the American LGBTQ-rights movement that has it's roots at the bar the Stonewall Inn in NYC. The typeface and accompanying campaign celebrates the history of the iconic Stonewall Inn as well as the diversity of the queer community.

    As a graphic design consultant I summarise and visualise employment data in a variety of digital reports. I mainly use Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Acrobat, and Microsoft Excel in addition to collecting data from various websites. The job requires an ability to follow directions and meet strict deadlines as well as taking initiative to find what else needs to be done. In this position, I have innovated and improved systems that are used to make the workflow more efficient.
