About Me
I am a graphic designer located in Los Angeles and specialize in branding and user experience. I began my career studying fine art but fell in love with graphic design after a couple of classes. Last Spring I graduated from Cal State Fullerton where I got my BFA in Graphic and Interactive Design. Currently, I'm exploring more motion graphics and illustration to take my designs to the next level.
I approach every project as a way to serve others and to turn their vision into reality. Meraki is a modern Greek word that means “the essence of yourself that you put into your work,” which encompasses how I view design. My desire is to make a positive difference in the world and partner with like-minded individuals who are passionate about sustainability.
