why work with me

I believe the best design comes from meaningful storytelling. When I create, I'm not just arranging elements;I'm crafting visual narratives that connect with audiences, communicate clearly, and leave lasting impressions through thoughtful composition and strategic execution.

When I'm Not Designing

You'll find me gaming through Vintage Story, rolling dice in D&D campaigns, or hiking through the Blue Ridge Valley. I'm always looking for inspiration in unexpected places, whether that's at my church community, exploring nature trails, or discovering design in everyday moments.
