Welcome to my little world! To know me is to know that I am but a simple human. I like a cup of coffee in one hand and a book in the other to start my mornings, Sunday afternoon naps with my cat Fynn, a post work run to clear my head, my homemade red sauce that I have perfected (even if it takes over 4 hours to cook), a PBR to wash down that bar hotdog that my friends told me was a good idea, the occasional glass of wine for dinner (I'm the friend who always shows up to dinner with a bottle to share), and the occasional trip to new cities.
I consider myself a collector of sorts. Some people call it clutter, but I call it knick-knacks and extensions of my personality arranged into controlled chaos. From books, to wine (humble brag about my wine fridge), to art on my gallery wall, vintage tee’s and flare pants, precious moments (mainly like actual memories but I do have one of the little porcelain figurines), and all sorts of random things that make my apartment feel like a home.
Let me tell you a little about what I love about graphic design and the art around us. Having the privilege of creating something that can be an extension of your own and others' thoughts is big to me. Something that puts thought into a visual medium, one that I consider one of our most important senses. We creatives get the opportunity to tell a story. In order for this to be successful, however, we have to use our greatest tool: empathy. We may not be able to feel exactly what someone else does, but we can try our best to understand it and learn with them along the way. We take on the important role of creating work that connects with people and is an extension of what is being told. I could go on and on about how much I love art and design, but I will digress so you’re not stuck here reading my whole life story (we can always do that in person!).
Anyways, thank you for stopping by! It’s an honor to have someone peer into my processes and the work I’ve created. I hope you enjoy your time here, and remember to stay curious :)
