I’m a multidisciplinary creative specializing in art direction and graphic design. I was born in Sydney, Australia to a software engineer and a fashion designer, so art and technology have always been central parts of my life.
The influence of human nature in advertising and design has always been something I’m uniquely fascinated by. If you asked me to describe my design process, I’d say it’s full of thought, joy, and rooted in research— I’m a strong believer that the Venn diagram between creatives and strategists is just a really big circle.
I graduated from the University of Oregon in June 2024 with a degree in Advertising and am now based in Portland, Oregon.
- I minored in anthropology out of sheer interest in human nature and development. (For my senior thesis, I wrote an original mathematical equation modeling adult survivorship rates in South American hunter-gatherer societies)
- I’m a chronic sleepwalker and in college slept walked two blocks in my pajamas to go to a nonexistent meeting
- Recently I have been enjoying not listening to music when I drive. Yes I know this is insane
- When I was 7 I tried to memorize all of Harry Potter so I could read it in my head at night. I got through about two pages #rebel
