Graphic Designer & Maker
Based in Houston, TX
I have always been interested in art and creating, mostly through drawing and painting. I grew up with a mom who read to me every night and a family that shared a passion for movies, television and going to museums so story telling has been a huge part of my life as well. In high school, I decided to take a class on graphic design which sealed my fate as a story-teller that solves problems through a visual medium.
In my free time I like to knit and crochet, make jewelry, play puzzle games, and cuddle with my two cats, Machi and Lady Grey.

I joined the AIGA Houston board in May of 2020 as Social Media chair and transitioned into the Director of Communications role in July of 2022. I love being able to give back to my design community by sharing resources, events, and knowledge through AIGA.
