Background

My interest in combining aesthetics and functionality led me to the Design department at U.C. Davis. I graduated in 2009 with a Bachelor of Arts with majors in Design (Visual Communication) and Art History. Combining the two majors taught me the value in understanding a subject through focused research and gave me insight into how creatives and their work have been interpreted throughout history. This background has provided a strong foundation for building cohesive projects with pointed communication and depth of character.

I thrive working with projects that create cohesive user experiences incorporating visual identity design, user interface design, branding, front-end development and a variety of and marketing materials. I feel the more you know about the mediums through which a design can be expressed, the better equipped you are to design a pointed solution for it.

I currently work as a Visual/UI designer with a strong front-end development skill set in the San Francisco Bay Area.
