I’ve known since grade school my calling resided in the creative field. Back then, I didn’t officially know what branding or a design process was, but it felt right. So it seemed like a no-brainer to study graphic design and photography at Penn State University. After college I landed in Baltimore, where I now have more than 5 years of experience in the design field, having worked both in an agency and in-house environments. I’ve worked on a wide variety of projects utilizing print, digital, UX and identity design skill sets.

While working on teams in a small boutique agency and now in fast-paced retail, I’ve gotten multitasking and wearing many hats to see a project through to the finish down to a fine science. My approach to design and solving problems always start with the client: who they are, and their end goal. From there, I believe in thoughtful storytelling through purpose-driven design. This results in solutions that accomplish the goal and elevate the client’s brand.

Aside from design and my various crafty hobbies, other things I love are coffee, puns, anything Penn State-related, photography, hiking and discovering the “charms” that make up Charm City.
