I find influence everywhere I go: the way finding in a museum, the font used in the credits for a movie or the menu at my favorite restaurant. I also find influence in current events and the social movements in our society. I have a passion for turning the things I read in the news into visuals. I have always been a visual learner and this way of learning transformed into a passion for creating those visuals. The question "why" has always enticed me and pushed me to keep the consumer in mind and not just my personal vision. I tend to lean towards designing marketing materials for events, causes or an overall brand. Personally these materials seem to be the most purposeful and I appreciate a good call to action. Throughout my work, I like to incorporate pops of color while still maintaining a clean, simple look and feel.born digitalStudent worksengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
