︎ABOUT
I am a Graphic Designer, (a self proclaimed poet), and a Graphic Design MFA graduate from the Maryland Institute College of Art. Currently, I’m faculty in communication Design as an AICAD fellow at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design.
My work explores the intersection of human behaviour, and culture, with design, whether cultural conditioning, culture shock, or a cultural conversation, I like to think of design as central to it all.
I’m open to commisions and collaboration!
