Graphic Designer and Illustrator located in Seattle, WA
I studied Graphic Design through the Visual Communication program at Northern Arizona University. Growing up I was always attracted to fine arts but when I started college I knew I wanted my work to continue to be creatively stimulating in a different way. As for my career, I hope to continue working with small businesses to create their ideal dream brand, as well as produce marketing and packaging materials for companies specialized events. I look forward to seeing what the future of graphic design and illustration looks like for me.
Graphic Design Experience
May 2021 - July 2022
Illustrated Children's Book - Remote
We did it!
I worked alongside an independent author who wanted to publish her first children's book. At the start of the project I created character sheets, mood boards, and color palettes to identify the style of the illustrations. From there I completed about 30 inner illustrations, front and back cover, as well as all of the typographic formatting. I primarily used Procreate and InDesign for this project.
February - September 2021
Sketch Soup LLC - Remote
I was a Graphic Design freelancer for a start up company that exceled in providing remote custom graphic design services. I worked as needed and helped on a variety of different projects, usually consisting of initial concept designs for logos, book covers, tee-shirt designs, mockups and final edits on other projects.

Illustrated Children's Book - Remote
Porky the Three-Legged Pig
I was hired to illustrate a children's book to life for a client that was looking to self-publish. This project took nine months of corresponding via emails, and consisted of 14 inner illustrations, along with the front and back cover art. This was my first time illustrating for children and was a great experience that got me out of my design comfort zone.
