A bit about me…

I'm currently finishing my last year at the University of Washington earning a B.Des in Visual Communication Design and a BBA in Marketing from the Foster School of Business.


Born in San Diego, raised in Seattle, I grew up in a bicultural household which has given me a unique perspective that deeply influences the way I approach both my life and my projects. I use design as a tool to strengthen experiences, highlight stories, and inspire change.


While out of the studio, you can find me exploring new coffee shops on my bike or picking up a new hobby—currently, it's tennis and linocut printing.

A bit about me…

I recently graduated from the University of Washington with degrees in Visual Communication Design and Marketing, a dual path that has shaped the way I think and work. I see design not just as a craft but as a strategy—a way to translate ideas into experiences that connect, communicate, and inspire.

I’m curious by nature and drawn to projects that connect design to real stories and real people. Whether I'm developing a campaign, building a visual identity, or refining a layout, I’m always thinking about the message, the audience, and the impact.

Outside of design, you'll find me exploring new coffee shops in search of the best lavender latte or restoring my vintage Cannondale.

My Design Principles

Curiosity keeps me going.
I ask questions, explore new ideas, and follow sparks. My best work often starts with “what if?”


I lead with strategy, not just style.
Design means more to me when it has a clear purpose. Every choice I make ties back to a goal or intention.


I like things that look good and do good.
Visuals should be functional. Whether it's guiding a user or telling a story, I want my design to make an impact.


I design for people, not just pixels.
If it’s not clear, inclusive, or accessible, it’s not finished.
