ABOUT ME
Hello! Thanks for checking out my About page.
A little bit about me, I earned my bachelor’s degree in Product Design at NewSchool of Architecture and Design. During college, I worked as a photo editor and photographer at Leaf Wedding Photography.
My unique background in product design, photography, and graphic design set me apart from other designers. Led by empathy, I design content, brands, and experiences that put people first.
I moved to Colorado in 2022. In my free time, you can find me reading a binge-worthy book, hiking with my husband, or playing mini golf with friends.
