my philosophy

I dedicate my practice towards approaching all art and design mindfully in order to truly communicate the message.

With graphic design, creative writing, and various forms of printmaking as my tools I acknowledge the happy accidents in life that come from experimentation. Part of this process requires me to challenge previously held expectations within art and design. Mindfulness in design requires empathy along with action in order to communicate properly.
​
Michigan native and Bloomington Indiana resident for 9 years. I love to read, draw, and ride my bike around town. Receivedw BS in Informatics, along with an MFA in Graphic Design --- then never left! Interested in learning, meeting new people, and having conversations about what can fill people's lives with joy and a sense of community through design.

By listening to every voice, my hope is to allow
more of the community to be heard, seen, and
empowered through art and design.
