 I'm a graphic designer and photographer based in Rochester, NY.
​
I hold a bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design from the Rochester Institute of Technology, where I also completed an immersion in American Sign Language. My time at RIT exposed me to a wide range of creative disciplines, including hand-building, glass processing, 3D design, and photography—all of which continue to influence and enrich my approach to design.
​
My work is driven by passion, emotion, and personal experience. I believe that design is most powerful when it connects on a human level, and I strive to bring authenticity and feeling into everything I create.
​
Outside of design, I work in direct support, assisting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This role continues to shape my understanding of empathy, communication, and the many ways design can serve and empower others.
