I am a graphic designer and graduate of the the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), where I focused in Visual Communication Design. Prior to studying at SAIC, I worked in advertising and public relations. In 2013 I received a Bachelor of Business Administration from the Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor Typography and materiality are central to my practice. I strive to use my varied background in making work that is beautiful, effective, and does some good in this world.
