I’m a Portland based visual designer with experience in UI design, branding, web design, and UI animation. I’m dedicated to solving creative problems, and great at thinking outside the box to achieve results. I have a meticulous and optimistic work ethic, and a passion for digital design.
Living in the Pacific Northwest has given me a deep appreciation of the natural world. On any given weekend you can find me outdoors, hiking, kayaking, or otherwise breathing in the forest air. I am forever in awe of the intricacies of nature, and draw a great deal of inspiration from this, instilling adaptability and multifacetedness into both my personal and professional life.
In college I studied fine arts, where I gained a solid understanding of the elements and principles of art. I worked in decorative art production for 10 years, developing exceptional precision and problem solving skills. I began freelancing in 2017, primarily working with a small Portland based design and development firm. It was there that I fell in love with branding and web design.
I took a position with a high volume production and wholesaling business where I proved to be versatile and meticulous in my work, but after some time outside of creative industries, I felt the design world calling me back. I earned a UI design certificate from CareerFoundry to add a new field to my repertoire and jump start my reentry into visual design. I’m thrilled to be back in the industry, and finally following my passion full-time.
