I realized I wanted to be a graphic designer in 2015 when I took a Digital Design class at my high school that people described as "an easy credit" (It was, but a newfound passion still blossomed). After that I got my bachelors in Graphic Design from the University of Central Florida in 2021 and after graduation I interned, then worked, at The Refinery Creative in Los Angeles until the end of 2023.
In 2024 I started working at my current job, a family owned print shop in my hometown that's older than I am (they've got one year on me): Venice Print Center. There I get to design and print for everything from local businesses to hobby artists, and have found an unexpected fulfillment in helping people build their budding small businesses.
My work experience has given me the best of both worlds. Working with big entertainment brands like Disney, Amazon, Hulu, Max, Paramount, and more has taught me how to work with strict brand guidelines and tight deadlines while working with up and coming small businesses has taught me how to help people bring their ideas to life.
