About

Hi! I’m an Atlanta based designer, creative director, photographer…wearer of many hats.

Really, I’m just a passionate creative intent on designing products and experiences that bring ease, joy, and value to the lives of others. While my background is in photography and visual design, I’m constantly pushing myself to explore new boundaries. I decided to persue UX/UI because great design is not just about perfect font pairings, it’s also about how a product works. Is it simple? Is it useful? Is it enjoyable?

Great design is all of those things. And great design starts with understanding the user. Learn more about my journey to UX/UI here.

When I’m not tackling my latest design challenge you can find me behind a lens, photographing anything and everything.

Other fun facts:

  • I’m a serious nerd for typography and hand lettering
  • The travel bug is wild inside me. Can’t wait for my next trip!
  • I love drawing, painting, and making handmade cards
  • My cat has a really cool mustache
