I’m a graphic designer with a passion for creating bold, meaningful visuals that connect with people and tell stories. For me, design is more than just making things look nice—it’s about solving problems, inspiring action, and leaving a lasting impression. Whether it’s crafting a brand identity that radiates personality, designing packaging that demands attention, or illustrating something completely unique, I believe every design has the potential to be a game-changer.

What I love most about design is how it ties into every other part of my creative life. I’m not just a designer—I’m also a storyteller and a music maker. When I’m writing stories, I think like a designer, mapping out visuals in my head. When I’m making music (which you can stream under unfriendlyKarma on all platforms), I bring the same sense of flow, rhythm, and energy that I do to my design work. Everything connects—visuals, sounds, and words—and it’s that creative overlap that keeps me excited about what I do.

So far, my design journey has taken me to some pretty exciting places. Besides school projects, I’ve worked on branding for a real estate photographer, created custom wedding invitations and menus, and even designed tape (yes, tape—because why shouldn’t tape have personality too?). I gravitate toward illustration and branding because they give me the freedom to blend creativity and strategy into something unforgettable. I love creating designs that don’t just look great but also communicate something deeper and more personal.

Of course, life isn’t always clean lines and color palettes—it’s also a little chaotic, and I thrive on that. Right now, I’m juggling three jobs, working on personal design projects, writing stories, and diving deeper into audio engineering as a side passion. It’s a lot, but it fuels my creativity and helps me keep learning. I don’t know exactly what my dream is yet, but I can guarantee it involves designing something that changes the world. Whether it’s a piece of art, a brand identity, or even a sound, I want to create something that makes an impact.  

What keeps me going is the chance to collaborate, connect, and create. I love working with people and brands that push me to think differently, try new things, and bring ideas to life in ways I never expected. So, if you’re looking for someone who’ll dive headfirst into your vision and bring it to life with a mix of strategy, creativity, and a little bit of fun, let’s work together. Because at the end of the day, design isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am. Let’s design something that matters.
