Being a designer is not just a lifestyle for me, it is a passion. Taking pixels and working them into forms that say something is an incredible adventure; an adventure that I hope to take to different cities through out my life time. Wanderlust has already led me to several parts of the world with the desire to see and learn more. I am a collector of sorts, be it collecting images that spark my interest on design blogs and websites or cultural influences from the open road. I hope to take all my explorations and spread them through out my creative process and in the end create inspiring projects for clients and myself.

When I'm not fueling my passion I am a magazine addict with a weakness for cardigans, post-it notes and piano instrumentals. I enjoy being organized and making lists on colorful pieces of paper. I also, can't help but buy anything that is bird related. Be it a pillow with a tree, a necklace with a feather or artwork of a nest. I have a slight obsession.

If you are interested in working with me on a project or hiring me for a full-time position do not hesitate to contact me.
