I design with curiosity, and I never stop learning.

Every project starts the same way for me; by asking questions.

How people work, what they need, where things break down, and why. The way I answer those questions has been shaped by nine years of practice, a handful of very different industries, and a genuine love of figuring things out.

Approach

Good design, to me, sits at the intersection of business objectives and real human needs. I care about creating print and digital work that isn't just visually compelling, but genuinely usable and accessible to people with all ranges of abilities. Design should welcome people in, not leave them out. I'm at my best when I'm solving for the full range of how people actually experience the world.

I've always been a perpetual student, constantly curious about how things work, why people make the choices they do, and what I still don't know. That curiosity keeps my design practice from ever feeling finished, and honestly, that's exactly how I like it.

Bio

I've spent the last 9 years as a practicing designer, based in Columbus, Ohio.

My design work is driven by the same curiosity that shows up in the rest of my life. From printmaking, creating stained glass artwork, and slowly restoring my 100-year-old home, one project at a time, I'm constantly learning and challenging myself. Whether I'm at my desk or elbow-deep in a home renovation, I'm happiest when I'm making something with my hands.
