Q What do you do?
“I am a graphic designer and illustrator specializing in the development and execution of brand identities”
Q What steps did you take to get to where you are now?
My career in graphic design followed the creation of my own business when I fell in love with creating a visual brand identity. While running this business I did all of the design and creative direction. I enjoyed it so much I decided to pursue graphic design full-time. Since that decision, I have worked on so many cool projects with amazing creatives.
Q How do you stand out in your field?
My unique career background which includes owning a business and working in social psychology gives me a unique perspective and skill set when working with clients. Additionally, my eye for photography and illustration aids in bringing beautiful brands to life.
Q What are you working on right now?
I am currently working on a really exciting new wellness supplement brand identity & developing an identity for a sustainable clothing company.
Q What’s your style?
My style is ever-evolving, but my goal is always the same- to create beautiful brands that align with a client’s needs.
Q Out of all your slashies, which one do you wish you could do more often?
I love incorporating my photography skills and hope to continue to bring those more heavily into future projects and continue to grow in that area.
Q What is frustrating you right now?
Taxes, always.
Q If you could hire someone for $20/hour, what would you have them do to make your day easier?
Answering emails and doing my taxes.
Q What do you wish you could have told yourself, when, and why?
At the start of my design career I wish I would have told myself that the confidence in my design work will come with time just be patient.
Q If you could talk to an expert to gain more insight on something, what would it be about?
I’m fascinated by interior design and pull inspiration from the spaces I interact with often so I would love to learn more about interiors/the psychology of places and spaces.
Q What kind of opportunities/projects are you looking for?
I am looking to work with nice, cool people to bring their businesses to life through the development of a beautiful visual identity or through social design and creation. I love to also collaborate with other studios or creatives on projects.
Q Describe your ideal job/client/collaboration.
I enjoy collaborating with clients and creatives who genuinely love good design and the process of getting there. Some of my favorite jobs have been when the client is uncertain about what they want their brand to look like and we have been able to explore and evolve the vision together.
