Based in the greater Cincinnati area, I am a graduating senior at the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art, & Planning (DAAP) where I study Communication Design. 


I believe design is an equalizer between experts and their audiences, making knowledge attainable and change tangible. As a designer, I am passionate about creating accessible messages and experiences that educate and uplift communities.


Outside of work, you will find me listening to music, creating art of many mediums, or at a book store with my friends.
