I'm a brand and packaging designer with five years of experience across agency and in-house work, currently completing my M.A. in Graphic Design at Savannah College of Art and Design, with a B.A. in Psychology from Carnegie Mellon University.
I think in feelings before words. My instinct is to read how people might receive something before I read the brief, and my background in psychology gave me the language for what I was already doing. I want to make work that makes people feel something, ideally something warm, uplifting, and worth lingering on.
Food and beverage is where I want to build my career. It's design at the intersection of ritual, sensory experience, and everyday joy, and I'm drawn to brands with strong personalities that feel fun, bold, and uplifting. The best of this work happens collaborating with strategists, art directors, and fellow designers.
Swimming at the NCAA national level taught me to put my head down and grind, push when it gets hard, and do the work that nobody sees. That's still how I approach design. I love putting time into the tiny details, because those are the things that make work feel thoughtful and genuine, and that's what makes it stand out.
I believe the best design creates warmth and makes people feel a little more connected to the world around them.
