Designer based in Chicago with an eye for detail and a passion for simplicity.
I thrive on bringing ideas to life through art and design, focusing on creating products that inspire joy, connection, and creativity. Whether illustrating unique patterns or developing innovative concepts, I approach every project with enthusiasm and a commitment to excellence, crafting designs that meet market trends and build lasting emotional connections with customers.
When I'm not working, you can find me planning my next hike, exploring a new bakery, listening to a new audiobook, or tuning into my favorite podcast.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Retailing & Consumer Behavior and a certificate in Graphic Design from the University of Wisconsin – Madison, where I learned the fundamentals of visual communication, branding, and marketing. I decided to integrate these two disciplines because I recognized the importance of creating design concepts and narratives that are informed by trends and consumer psychology.
