Columbus-based artist and designer

experience in both the fine arts and commercial projects.

I have been living and working in Columbus, Ohio since 2017, where I earned my BFA from the Ohio State University. My background draws from the creative arts, starting with experience as an installer and art handler at various galleries. From there, I trained myself in more design softwares such as AutoCAD, Maya, and Procreate. My passion is for visual and environmental design, which I was able to pursue in my position as a production assistant for a biophilic design business, and my current position as a graphic/technical designer for a commercial sign production company.

My goal is to continue using my skills to imagine new spaces and experiences, offer new perspectives, and make front-end creative decisions that produce results. I am always looking for new knowledge and skills, and new challenges to overcome with my work.
