Born and raised in Los Angeles with a strong passion for design, music, sports, film, and photography. I graduated from California State University, Northridge with a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing. After graduating, I began working in the marketing industry, but quickly found myself operating in a few different roles. I would eventually become an assistant designer, designing and managing the company’s web, social media, and email presences as well as serving as an in-house photographer, retoucher, and editor. I was eventually promoted to design specialist, where I was also tasked with managing the company’s and partners’ visual footprints editorially, digitally, and in various other print formats.

After five enlightening years, I left that job to take a travel break, setting off for Europe. I backpacked through seventeen countries over three months and had a mind-expanding experience. Shortly after I travelled to Australia & New Zealand for three weeks. When I returned, I began to question if my work experience was better suited for marketing or design. I came to the realization that I wasn’t all that interested in continuing in the field of marketing. I wanted to explore a career utilizing my strengths as a graphic designer.

With that illumination, I enrolled in the Design Communication Arts certificate program at UCLA Extension, which I completed in March 2025. I’m excited for this new course I’ve charted for myself and I'm eager to get to work!
