I was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. Throughout my life, I’ve consistently sought out many different creative outlets. When I found visual communication design, I realized I would be able to combine my relentless desire to be creative and to help others. Additionally, my interest in design is strongly fueled by my love for exploration and travel. Visiting different places and immersing myself in various cultures has exposed me to diverse design styles, visual languages, art, architecture, and more. These experiences have not only enhanced my design skills but also heightened my cultural sensitivity and awareness, both in and outside the realm of design.
