I am a senior at the University of South Florida, pursuing a BFA in Graphic Design and set to graduate in Spring 2026. Before attending USF, I earned an Associate of Science in Graphic Design from the State College of Florida in 2023, where I built a strong foundation in professional design practices. My portfolio was accepted into the highly selective USF Graphic Design program, an achievement attained by only a small number of applicants each year.


Throughout my academic career, I have combined technical skills with hands-on experience. I contributed to branding and visual identity projects at ChappellRoberts, including webpage design, social media content, and logo development, working closely with cross-functional teams to ensure cohesive brand solutions. I also completed independent projects for Children First, a Head Start non-profit in Sarasota, designing flyers, invitations, advertisements, and newsletters. These experiences strengthened my ability to manage projects independently while meeting deadlines.


I am proficient in the Adobe Creative Suite and hold certifications in Illustrator and Photoshop. I also have experience in coding, photography, video editing, and video production. I bring creativity, reliability, and a collaborative mindset to every project I take on.


Outside of design, I have a wide range of creative interests. I am passionate about movies, film, and polaroid photography, collecting antiques, and exploring 1920s and 1930s Jazz, often curating vintage records. These hobbies inspire my artistic perspective and influence the way I approach visual storytelling.


With a balance of technical skill, professional experience, and personal curiosity, I am excited to contribute innovative ideas to any creative team while continuing to grow as a designer.
