ABOUT ME

I am an Ohio-based designer specializing in creative direction, graphic design, photography, and design research.

With a passion for challenging conventions and uncovering the “why” behind design, I strive to balance aesthetics, functionality, and deeper cultural or psychological insights in all projects. This holistic perspective elevates the creative process, ensuring outcomes that are both innovative and deeply resonant.
