A professional with a “get-it-done” attitude and a passion for bringing ideas to life across design, content, and live experiences. With over five years of experience in graphic design, production, and motion graphics, I’ve developed a strong foundation in Adobe Creative Suite and utilizing digital tools, while staying up to date and remaining adaptable in fast-paced environments.
Whether I’m prepping detailed print files under tight deadlines, editing a reel, or coordinating the live events , I approach every project with determination, precision, and curiosity. If I don’t know how to do something, I learn it. This allows my mindset to succeed across multiple disciplines. Various examples of my persistence and ability to “get it done” can be found below.

Personal Info
As a person, I’m a creature of passion, alwaus hungry for more when it comes to the things I pursue. When something sparks my interest, I go all in, whether it’s mastering a new design technique, gaining deeper knowledge in my software, or diving deep into fantasy. If I run into a problem, I find a solution, if I can’t find a solution, I make my own.
Based in St. Petersburg FL, I spend my free time exploring outside, making delicious food, and spending time within my community and tight-knit friend groups. I take pride in being the friend that follows through & figures it out. Being there for others is something I strive for.
DESIGNS
As the sole designer and creator of this personal project, using elements pulled from online to create a tribute to the late artist MF DOOM. I aimed to create a design that felt like a New York Times magazine cover. I utilized Photoshop for most of the work, with text made, and adjusted in Illustrator before being imported into the final design. Each name on the cover represents a different persona of MF DOOM.
This personal project features a colorful and eccentric design inspired by Yaeji's album 'WHAT WE DREW' and its theme of the growth of an onion. Using stock images edited in Photoshop and some text elements created in Illustrator, the design plays with the rules of thirds to create a visually interesting composition. The result is a unique and eye-catching design that captures the essence of the album.
Designed and sold a Cellar Masters tote bag featuring their unique brand identity and colors. Created a building photo in Illustrator and applied it to a mockup in Photoshop. Collaborated with the client to reach a design they enjoyed, awaiting final decision on production.
This project involved creating concept art and social media graphics for House Hats, a college house music record label. The design aimed to capture the trendy, electronic music influences of the label, as well as promote club events. The resulting designs were eventually used on the label's social media platforms.
Music flyer made for a warehouse style rave hosted by myself. Flyers were made and then scattered all over town on locations with lots of eyes. Phone number provided information about venue/released addressed days before the event to keep the "allure" of a secret event. Phone number still works and I am always happy to go into that event and explain more.

VIDEO CONTENT
In a world where attention is a commidity, trends move faster than ever, and nostalgia never ceases to end. Sometimes simpler videos are what keep people attached. These reels normally have trending audio from platforms attached, however I figured i’d let them just exist here. All Videos are created within After Effects, using expressions and native tools with zero 3rd party plugins. Assets are created within Photoshop and Illustrator and exported.
