A Bit About Me
I was born and raised in Richmond, VA and now live in Prescott, AZ with my boyfriend and our dog, Opal. Opal means the world to me. In my spare time, I love hiking and finding new places to explore in this beautiful state of Arizona.
​I began college at Virginia Commonwealth University for film and photography in 2017. While I adored the major, I ended up taking a two-and-a-half-year break and refocused on what interests me the most, which is composition and design. With that said, I recently graduated in November 2023 from Southern New Hampshire University with a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design and Media Arts.
​Creativity and passion are at the core of everything I do. I love anything that pertains to design including logo design, brand design, creating graphics, data visualization, UX/UI design, packaging design, photography, and more. I would love to work with you and help you create unique and memorable designs that will make your brand stand out. I am currently an open book and am looking for any opportunity I can get!
