I was born a problem solver; an optimist with a critical eye. I embrace change, and I welcome my role as a designer as a catalyst of change. I am a UC Davis Department of Design Alumni and am currently pursuing a second degree in Mechanical Engineering to expand my toolset and tackle more complex problems. 

I love figuring out how to spread information in glamorous and intelligent ways with the graphics I create. A similar concept draws me to photography, except it's a challenge in capturing my feeling during a fleeting moment in time in a way that translates easily to my audience.

My life revolves around nature. I'm an avid camper, backpacker, triathlete, road-tripper, environmentalist...but each day I celebrate pieces of nature in urban life. The moments I spend appreciating aspects of the natural world coexisting with our constructed world give me the tools I need to create.
