I’m a recent Graphic Design graduate from California State University, Long Beach, where I earned my BFA while maintaining a 3.9 GPA and recognition on the President’s Honors List. My approach to design is rooted in curiosity, creative vision, and the belief that design is a powerful tool for storytelling, problem-solving, and connection.

I draw inspiration from color and its ability to shape emotions and perceptions, creating visuals that are both purposeful and impactful. At CSULB, I developed a diverse skill set through projects in branding, digital media, packaging, and typography, strengthening my ability to think critically, experiment boldly, and execute ideas with precision.

I’m passionate about using design to create meaningful experiences that leave a lasting impression, while continuing to explore how creativity can spark change and inspire action. This is me, leaving a digital footprint one project at a time.
