Portland, ORIn My Own Words
I am a designer with 4+ years of experience of finding the unique intersections between appeal and functionality. I create in a variety of styles for a variety of mediums: Logos, branding, print, digital, experiential, and environmental design with end results that were described with words like minimal, timeless, playful, elegant, grungy, modern, geometric, simplistic, and occasionally, cute. I have worked with companies across the nation, including coffee shops, hotels, musicians, cosmetic companies, and YouTube stars.
Apart from graphic design, I also have experience planning, styling and directing photoshoots, as well as copywriting, social media management, and hand-lettering.
I've got a big heart for helping companies achieve their goals, and a drive to get things done -- so shall we get to it?
