BFA Graphic Design
At its core, design is the heart of storytelling—translating visions and missions into tangible, visual experiences. I see my work as the heartbeat of a client's vision, pumping energy into every part of their organization. My goal is for viewers to feel connected to the design as if it were pointing towards something greater than itself. Through identity design, illustration, hand lettering, and inviting color palettes, I design to bring stories together, fulfill missions, and cultivate meaningful relationships between people and the causes they care about.
Designing for ministry based organizations has shown me that my greatest inspiration is people—their stories, struggles, and hopes. As the creative director of my local church, I have had the privilege of advocating for the homeless in my community through design work for our church's food and supply pantry. Additionally, I created ForSBY, a campaign for outreach opportunities in our city. These experiences have deepened my belief that design is more than aesthetics; it's about restoring dignity, amplifying voices, and visually communicating identities that deserve to be seen and understood.
My designs embrace a friendly and inviting approach, using color and hand lettering to give each project a unique personality. I want my work to feel soft and welcoming yet impactful—highlighting the good in every message and offering a hopeful outlook on the world. Ultimately, I design with the belief that visuals have the power to tell stories that make people feel seen, heard, and connected to something greater than themselves.
