About me,
I'm an illustrator and designer and I am passionate about creating work that will help make a difference. I received a BFA with a concentration in graphic design from California Polytechnic University, San Luis Obispo, spring of 2020. Alongside my BFA I have a minor in Biology with a focus on Botany, and a scientific curiosity that is often reflected in the subject and style of my work.
I grew up in Santa Cruz, CA, a town that played a huge role in shaping who I am and the work I create. For as long as I can remember I have been immersed in the outdoors, be it through my obsession with surfing or the frequent scrambles up mountain sides with my family and friends. Because of my upbringing and hobbies the outdoors and environmental consciousness are important aspects of the work I create.
The privileged position of a college education allows me to work for something greater than myself, and that is why my ultimate goal is
to create art that plays a part in the improvement of the world that
we live in.
