I am a student going into my fourth year at Utah State University (USU). Currently, I am pursuing a Degree in Graphic Design and a minor in Entrepreneurship. I have spent most of my life growing up in Salt Lake City, UT. If I am not creating in some form or fashion, I am rock climbing, playing soccer, and/or listening to music.
My passion for design snuck up on me during my last year of secondary schooling. I found an interest in screening printing in a digital media class. I then came to learn and nearly master Adobe's creative programs that following year. I followed my creative endeavors to eventually be accepted into the Graphic Design BFA program at Utah State University. I am constantly pushing myself to learn more in the design field and gain experience. My education will never stop as long as I live.
I also have a passion for photography (if you happened to look at the photo) and I often like to use my own photography in my design.

Mission Statement
I will not waste my days in pretense—Artifice fades, real work stays—I’m here for the real work.
I create with intention, never passive in practice. My work is built to stir, to challenge, to speak across cultures and identities. Design isn't a convenience—it's an influential power that shapes every minute aspect of our daily lives.
I refuse to drift. Every project, every choice, is a deliberate act of defiance against the ordinary. I seek influence not for fame, but to build work that endures entropy—work that honors the full weight of human experience.
I show up educated: with tenacity, with passion, with fidelity. I hold my values tight, and my ego loose, enduring when demanded and progressing without excuses. My path isn’t a dream — it’s a manifesto. I carve it every day with vigor, respect, and a relentless drive to cut through the chaos of the modern world. I will not go gentle into that good night.
Value Statement
My goal as a designer is to communicate with people in a meaningful way. I have found my work most successful when I am able to understand and speak to the perspectives of other cultures.
I heavily value visual culture and want to contribute my own style and knowledge to the local, even global community. I know that my work won’t stop after my formal education. I plan to build and explore different communities with my learnings from my schooling and find a way to give back as much as I’ve gained with my time amongst educated minds.
