Get in Touch
I'm a graphic designer based in Chicago, with a focus on branding, layout, and visual systems that communicate with clarity and personality. Whether I’m building a visual identity or typesetting a publication, I care about the details; how things line up, how type breathes, and how design can shape the way people connect with a story.
Alongside branding, I have a strong love for book design. I’ve worked on everything from zines to photo books, always aiming to create thoughtful, tactile experiences that invite people to slow down and engage.
Photography is a big part of my practice too. I shoot both digital and film, often drawn to small, focused case studies, tactile and digital collages, and experimental techniques.
One of my most meaningful projects grew out of the archive I inherited after my dad passed away in 2022. As a way to process that experience, I spent a year working with photographs, documents, texts, and film; scanning, editing, and layering them into a large-scale series of digital collages and formatting them into a book. The project blends design, photography, typography, and archival material into a visual timeline that reflects on memory, loss, and complicated relationships. I was drawn to the process of transforming raw, personal material into something designed, something that could speak to others while still feeling deeply my own.
