About me.

Growing up in Raleigh, North Carolina, my passion for graphic design sparked in high school and was solidified after attending Design Camp at NC State University. I went on to earn a BFA in Graphic Design from East Carolina University in May of 2023.

My most recent position was at Plasma Games as a Junior Graphic Designer where I created illustrations, infographics, UI elements, logos, visual identities, and whatever other design challenges came my way! Before that, I was a Digital Designer at Game Plan, where I developed graphics and videos for eLearning courses, led accessibility initiatives that led to the evolution of our course templates, and took lead on designing our semester course catalogs. These experiences sharpened my communication, design, and project management skills.

My portfolio showcases a blend of academic training and professional experience, highlighting my dedication to crafting thoughtful, impactful visual solutions.

Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl Newspapers


As a lifelong Seahawks fan, I created two newspaper-style posters highlighting the season’s biggest storylines: The Seahawks and Sam Darnold’s redemption and the record-breaking ‘Dark Side’ defense. These one-off design experiments showcase my approach to layout, typography, and storytelling.
