About

Art and design have always been the lynchpin of who I am. At three years old I would hide for hours and come back with piles of crayon drawings on printer paper. At six I told my kindergarten teacher I wanted to be an artist when I grew up. In my older years, art was the way I would escape the world around me. Being from a small town in Michigan I found myself often alone in what I loved to do. Therefore, when I was accepted into Columbia College Chicago I knew almost instantaneously that I wanted to pursue Graphic Design and Creative Writing. Quickly into my first year at Columbia, I found my love for Social Media and Digital Strategies. These three passions drew out the side of my design that wasn’t afraid to take risks and be experimental. I found creating designs that broke the rules, that changed the way people thought about design inspired me. As a creative I am not afraid to tackle hard concepts, often I am excited to take on the challenge.t
