Design Style & Influences:

• My design aesthetic leans more towards funky and bold but I also love to experiment with minimalism.

• When it comes to design inspiration, I'm constantly fueled by Pentagram.

• If I could collaborate with any designer (living or dead) it would be Paula Scher because she's a legend.

Crafting & Design Habits:

• My go-to creative tool is paper for scrapbooking or card making!.

• The messiest part of my creative process is usually the mood board but the most rewarding moment is getting that first iteration out of your head and onto the paper.

• When I hit a creative block, I plan a vacation or day to myself in the city. Getting away from my desk and into the concrete jungle sparks motivation in me.

Fun & Quirky:

• My biggest design pet peeve is unorganized files.

• If I wasn't a designer, I would probably be a dentist.
