BA Graphic and Communication Design

I’m a graphic and communication designer who thinks too much about why things look the way they do. My work lives somewhere between concept and craft, whether that’s questioning the tools we design with or the identities we design around. I like ideas that start simple and go somewhere unexpected..

A collection of work that asks questions before it gives answers. From the raw mark of a pencil to the layered complexity of a social persona, these projects explore how we make things, how we present ourselves, and what gets lost when we skip the messy parts in between. Design as a way of thinking.
