A Note to the Viewer.
The opportunity to take my creativity and transform it into a career is something I deeply appreciate, as it is not a privilege everyone gets to experience. From my time in college, I knew the creative space would launch me into a world I would never part from. I have always been focused on learning and growing, soaking in every tip and piece of advice from my professors, peers, and co-workers along the way. Every project is a chance to improve, and I continue that mindset today.
A special thanks to YouTube, my best friend, for keeping me up to date on design trends and tutorials to ensure I’m always evolving.
What I Bring.
If I don’t know how to do something, I will exhaust my options to figure it out. Sometimes to a fault. Tutorials, forums, trial and error. I keep digging until I get it, and every time I walk away with a new skill I was not even looking for.
Designing is for the consumer. It is not about me, but there is always a marriage of personal style and what people actually connect with. I love finding that balance.
I love to learn. It is at the core of who I am and ties back to my ability to figure things out. Design is constant learning. No one can say they cannot learn a new skill, a new technique, a faster way to do something, or even a shortcut that makes the design process more efficient.
I strive to evolve. Trends change, tools change, but the fundamentals stay the same. Type, color, layout, story. That mix of what is classic and what is next is where the best ideas come alive.
What I am Looking for.
I want to learn and absorb from the best. I was thrown into design early on, starting with an internship in NYC where I had to adapt fast, and later growing with a start-up that went from an apartment to a 100,000 sq ft facility. Being the only designer taught me how to communicate design to non-designers, adapt to adversity, and always put people first.
I want to keep building new skills.
I want to grow with people who
challenge me.I want collaboration that pushes
ideas further.I want to listen, learn, and bring
my perspective to the table.I want to be surrounded by people
who love design as much as I do.
At the core, it all comes back to design. I love it, I respect it, and I want to keep evolving with it. Surrounded by the right people and energy, I know I can keep growing into the designer I want to be.
