About me

I'm a multidisciplinary designer and artist based in Kirkland, Washington. My journey into design started back in 2011 when I arrived in the Emerald City and felt inspired to pursue my true passion. That inspiration led me to The Art Institute of Seattle, where I earned my degree in Web Design and Interactive Media.

Over the past 13 years, I've built a strong career, working with a variety of companies across different industries. It's been an exciting ride, and I love what I do!
