I’m a Senior Graphic Designer with over 5 years of experience in a diverse range of creative applications including branding, print and digital marketing, illustration, spatial design, packaging and fashion design. I’ve been a creative thinker all my life - falling in love spending time drawing, painting, throwing at the pottery wheel, metal smithing and even woodworking from a very young age. I have an immense passion for interior design often finding myself undertaking renovation projects or picking up another vintage chair I don’t have a spot for.
In 2018 I graduated from Grand Valley State University with a BFA in Studio Art with an emphasis in Illustration. Since beginning my graphic design career, I’ve leveraged my creative thinking and love for learning to dive into new mediums and design channels. I recently completed my Marketing Professional Certificate through the Association of National Advertisers and was also awarded a 2023 Platinum MUSE Award for my work on the 2022 NF Gala: beNeFit X event.
When I’m not at work being creative, I’m at home being creative and I wouldn’t have it any other way!

NF Forward is a nonprofit organization that hosts a yearly beNeFit gala in Detroit to raise funding to find a cure for neurofibromatosis. Also known as NF, neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow on nerves anywhere in the body. While massive medical strides have been made thanks to the work of NF Forward, the fight is not over.
For its 10-year anniversary, last year's disco-themed beNeFit X gala commemorated a Decade Devoted to Ending NF. This milestone event needed the perfect creative to transport gala guests back to the height of roller-skating parties and the Studio 54 era and set the tone for a glamorous night for the cause. Drawing inspiration from quintessential vinyl album covers of the 1970s, glam metallics, star filters, and curving retro lines abound to lend a look that is undeniably disco.

Beginning in 2020, all net proceeds from the Rocket Mortgage Classic would support a multi-year campaign to ensure every Detroit resident has access to the internet, technology and digital literacy training they deserve within five years. The Rocket Mortgage Classic also teams up with Give Merit and the FATE program - an organization isn't just raising money for youth to have money for college, but walking with them, hand-in-hand and making sure they have sufficient tools to reach this milestone. The FATE program works with close to 50 students in the Detroit area, preparing them to embrace their education and become world-class citizens.
We teamed with Give Merit to pair up our Graphic Designers with a group of students from the community to make their very own Rocket Mortgage Classic t-shirt design a reality. At the end of the creative outbreak session, each designer and their students would present their design and a winner would be crowned. Not only would their t-shirt be produced and sold at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, but each student in the winning group would receive a brand new laptop and technology bundle.
