Based in the greater Cincinnati area, I am a fourth year student at the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art, & Planning (DAAP) where I study Communication Design. 
As a designer, I am passionate about using my skills to create accessible messages for a wide audience and understanding how design can create experiences and spaces that educate and uplift all groups of people. 
On an average day, you will find me painting and sketching, reading books and writing essays about things that interest me, or listening to podcasts and music.

Fun facts
I have a background in STEM! I am certified for IT fundamentals with experience in several languages of code. I also studied Mechanical Engineering for three semesters at the University of Louisville where I participated in a competitive rocket team. 
As a means to better understand new perspectives beyond my own, I spend a lot of my free time researching and reading about other cultures and sometimes the basics of their languages. This cultural awareness often inspires my way of thinking about design in regards to symbolism and color application.
