About
I love to conceptualize with other designers and find intriguing solutions to challenges given to me, while also maintaining my clean style of design.
One of my strongest skills is to produce an idea that can be easily understood. I think this is key when designing an identity because an idea must be clear across all marketing outlets, or it will not be successful. I love being able to design a brand that everyone can relate to and connect with on some level.
Having a minor in Business Administration has been extremely helpful while designing. It gives me the ability to not only see the design itself, but to also visualize how it can be connected to a specified target audience.
I have the design skills to create an idea and the business skills to set that idea in motion. -
