I Like to Make Things
Whether tinkering with Lego as a child, drawing and doodling relentlessly throughout middle school and high school, or tweaking colors and typography as part of my undergraduate program in Graphic Design, I have always been drawn to the process of creating, revising, and iterating to come up with approaches and ideas that may not have been considered before. My 7+ years of professional experience since graduation have further taught me to apply my foundational knowledge of design, color, and typography to solve problems for various clients over the course of hundreds of projects.
When not designing, drawing, or photographing, I am reading, exploring the various local breweries and taprooms in Georgia, taking local butchery and blacksmithing courses, or cooking ridiculous amounts of bacon.
