Design isn’t just what we see—it’s how we experience, connect, and communicate.

As a third-year Communication Design student at the University of Cincinnati’s DAAP (School of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning), I thrive on the challenge of developing innovative design solutions, pushing creative boundaries, and thinking not just outside the box—but beyond it entirely! My passion lies in branding, digital UI/UX, apparel, and print design, with the ultimate mission of crafting visuals that tell a story and leave a lasting impact.

Since I was young, I’ve been drawn to eye iconography, incorporating it into my art as a symbol of perception, vision, and deeper understanding. I believe my purpose is to bring both my own and others’ creative visions to life—translating ideas into something tangible and powerful. The saying “eyes are the windows to the soul” resonates deeply with me because design, much like vision, is a tool for seeing beyond the surface. In many ways, I feel like my creative spirit knew my path long before I did.

Beyond design, I find inspiration through writing songs, reading about spiritual teachings, experimenting with different art styles, and embracing life’s unexpected joys—like my pet rats, who are equal parts chaos and pure love (and undeniably spoiled—I even built them a custom six-foot-tall enclosure myself)!
