As a multidisciplinary designer, creativity and community is at the heart of what I do. Blending strategy and design, I excel at visual and verbal storytelling.
Intercultural Connection. Community. Human Rights. Environmentalism.
These are foundational pillars in my life that blend my personal passions more intentionally with my intersectional work.
A few titles I wear with pride; proud Midwesterner, fun auntie, dedicated friend, seasoned traveler, honorary Brit and Dutchie, bookworm, humanitarian, environmentalist, and avid snail mail sender.

My favorite design tool is Adobe’s Indesign. I know Photoshop and Illustrator are big fan favorites. I started learning the art of design in InDesign when I was 15 years old. A mix of nostalgia and loyalty perhaps!

MINOR
HONORS
SPECIALIZATION

Cum Laude
Women’s Studies
At Scripps, I co-founded Backdrop Magazine, the first student-run independent magazine. As a self-funded publication thanks to local advertisers, our editorial staff was ahead of the curve. Our uncensored investigative reporting led us to be more connected to the student body. One of our highest reaching cover stories featured guns on campus.
