Digital illustrator
& creative designer

During my time at school I worked in several positions with a design focus. These included developing Wordpress websites for professors through the IT department, using Blender and Maya to create VR classroom materials, and designing and coordinating marketing for the college's student entertainment committee.

After graduating as a Studio Art and Asian Studies double major I took an internship in New York to pursue my interest in printmaking. This was my first experience with the business side of industry. I learned the importance of precision, an organized work space, and communicating with clients.

I'm indebted to every teacher in my life, and after graduating I decided I wanted to pay it forward by teaching English at a junior high school in the countryside of Japan. I'm grateful for the opportunity, but  after two years knew my passions were still for a creative career.

My next venture as the New Media Producer for a print and advertising business was a whirlwind of action. Along with traditional print layouts for promotional content, I learned new video skills shooting with drones and 9-pound gimbals, edited them with motion graphics and animations, and prepared them for television and web.

At the beginning of 2018 I transitioned within the company to help develop the Japanese franchise of the cryptocurrency news site Cointelegraph. There I earned a reputation producing daily images for the articles. In this position I also worked on web banners, video effects, UX design, and running social media campaigns.

After four incredible years in Japan, I've moved back to the US to find a more permanent position in a workplace that thrives on creativity. The ideal spot will have me working on a team other designers and art directors I can learn from and support to improve the level of design in the world around us.
