MULTI-PASSIONATE DESIGNER BASED IN NYC
I started my creative journey designing thesis presentations for UC Santa Cruz, sparking my interest in freelance illustration and design. I later joined Santa Barbara’s Parks & Recreation department, contributing to mural projects and community storytelling initiatives. Along the way, I also produced videos for nonprofits like the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Barbara.
After earning my B.A. in Multimedia/Emerging Media Production from California State University, Northridge, I added a focus on digital design. Since 2020, I’ve collaborated with academia, non-profits, and fashion brands, creating compelling print and digital experiences.
Let’s create something bold together! 🪄
