I’m a digital marketer, graphic designer, and artist based in Chicago, Illinois. Born and raised as an Army BRAT, I try and bring my perspective as someone who’s visited many places and met many people to inform my outlook on art and design.

I graduated from Kendall College of Art and Design in 2017 with a degree in Collaborative Design with a focus in Graphic Design. Since then, I’ve been working in the marketing field applying my user experience and graphic design skillsets to B2B and B2C marketing.

I maintain my passion for art through my personal art practice and as a team member of SiTE:LAB - a nomadic all-volunteer artist-led initiative focused on creating site-specific projects and events in underutilized and unique spaces. In the past, I’ve also served as a board member for Avenue for the Arts and as a studio member at Dinderbeck Studios.
