Designer, problem-solver, storyteller.

Born and raised just outside of Detroit, I began my studies in photography at the College for Creative Studies, where I developed a deep appreciation for visual storytelling and analog film. I later earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design and a Master of Arts in User Experience Design.
