“I’m very interested in process & creative collaboration.”

Hello! I'm a junior at the Kansas City Art Institute studying Graphic Design and Creative Writing. I'm an interdisciplinary designer, writer, illustrator, and photographer with an expected graduation date of May 15, 2016. As a creative, I am always passionately designing and making with an astute attention to detail. I'm a lover of process and the tactile measures of design to reach both print and analog solutions. These humanistic measures make the field of design my continuous passion. In addition to being a creative, I am an observer. I study culture, environments, and people to gain a better understanding of the personality behind the work I’m creating. My key areas of interest are book design, web design, print, and packaging.
