an amateur doodler with a graphic design degree

I've been creating for as long as I can remember. Making things has never been a hobby, it's simply who I am.  Whether it's photography, drawing, painting, or graphic design, I'm constantly chasing ways to tell stories through visuals. I'm inspired by the details most people overlook: the way light hits a wall, weathered textures, colors found in nature, or the feeling a song leaves behind. Those quiet moments often become the foundation of my work.   After moving around throughout my childhood, I spent 25+ years in Washington State before finding a new home in Austin, Texas, where I've now lived for nearly three years. Every place I've called home has shaped the way I see the world. The landscapes, the people, the music I'm listening to, and whatever season of life I'm in all leave their mark on what I create. For me, design is less about making something beautiful and more about making someone feel something. Every project is an opportunity to tell a story with intention, curiosity, and heart.
