Originally from the Midwest, I traded snowstorms for surf swells. Now based in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, I bring 6+ years of experience helping brands tell their stories through design. I specialize in branding, packaging, merchandise, and visual identity systems, creating work that feels human, rooted in storytelling, and built with purpose.

​

After taking a year-long hiatus to travel throughout Europe in a 26 year old camper van (and you could tell), I’m excited to be stepping into the world of UX/UI design. I’m currently completing the Google UX Design Certificate, where I’m exploring empathetic design,

user-centered thinking, and how I can bring my strong visual design foundation into a career centered around the user. While this

transition has been a little nerve-racking, it’s also reminded me why I chose design in the first place: to connect with people through visual language.

​

Outside of work, you’ll find me surfing, tracking down the best coffee in town (an endless hunt), or scrolling through Pinterest. I’m constantly collecting inspiration from textures and colors, interiors, storefronts, signage, and all the little details that give a place its personality.

 

I love collaborating with people, and I believe the best creative work comes from good conversations, curiosity, and not taking ourselves too seriously. Whether I’m building a brand from the ground up, designing packaging meant to stand out on a shelf, or creating experiences centered around the user, my goal is always the same: to create authentic work that people connect with and remember.
