/designer bio/
I currently work in interactive design at Barkley in Kansas City, Missouri. My appreciation for design also extends to branding, illustration, apparel, typography, and environmental. I have a true love for fashion design and that passion inspires my graphic design and illustration work.

My love of the arts began at an early age, immersing myself in creative outlets such as drawing, painting, dance, modeling, and photography. I was drawn to the world of design because it fused creative expression with purpose. In 2006 I received my BFA from the University of Kansas in Visual Communication: Graphic Design. Shortly afterward I began designing and constructing my own garments, interpreting my artistic vision for the human form. I bring a refined, holistic approach to my work, gathering inspiration from the past while looking forward to continue discovering and innovating.
