More About Me

As a graphic designer, I’m passionate about creative problem-solving and bringing fresh, exciting ideas to life. My love for designing brands, spaces and crafting unique user experiences really took off after studying Visual Communication Design at Ohio State. Since then, I've thrown myself into projects that blend strategy with creativity, always focused on telling a compelling story, uniquely catered to each brand or client. I firmly believe good design is all about understanding the heart of a brand and translating that into elements that really connect with people.

I’m always thinking about how design elements come together to influence how people feel and interact with a space or product. Whether it’s refining a brand’s personality through typographic explorations, color palettes that resonate, or uncovering insights that help shape a unique experience, I’m driven by the impact that thoughtful design can make. I’m constantly pushing myself to explore new creative approaches that make every project stand out and feel meaningful.

When I’m not zipping down the Little Miami Scenic Trail on my bike or trying a new sour dough recipe, I’m probably reading a good non-fiction book or knee-deep in a new creative adventure. I’ve got a thing for upcycling and love turning scraps into art in one of my many red moleskine notebooks via @LittleRedCreativeCo—whether it’s sketches, leaves, paint chips, or paper bits, nothing goes to waste. One designer’s trash? That’s my goldmine for fresh ideas.

Why “Little Red”, you ask?

Little Red Creative Co. began with a red Moleskine notebook—my creative companion through college, filled with sketches, collages, and endless ideas. That little book sparked a love for hands-on making and storytelling that now lives on in every piece I create. From watercolor portraits to layered paper collages, my work blends traditional graphic design with the tactile joy of found materials, texture, and color.

Rooted in a desire to turn everyday inspiration into something meaningful, each item in the shop is a mix of design precision and playful experimentation. Whether I’m repurposing vintage magazines, cutting intricate paper details, or painting custom gifts, Little Red is a space where creativity knows no bounds—and where handmade, heartfelt art is meant to be shared.
