I am a graphic designer and digital illustrator based in Dayton, Ohio, with a passion for visual storytelling, illustration, and creative communication. My love for design began with my admiration of animation. As a child, I would draw animated characters while watching them on screen, building my skills through observation and practice. Those early experiences shaped my appreciation for clean line work, expressive illustration, and character-driven design. What may be considered a youthful or whimsical style has become a defining part of my creative voice.
I believe every design tells a story. Whether I am creating a brand identity, illustration, event materials, or digital media, my goal is to create visuals that connect with audiences and leave a lasting impression. Design should not only be visually engaging, but also purposeful and effective in communicating ideas.
With over five years of experience designing for city events, I have developed a strong background in event branding, promotional materials, and poster design. I enjoy creating bold, eye-catching compositions that combine typography, illustration, and visual storytelling to capture attention while clearly communicating a message.
I create my work primarily using the Adobe Creative Cloud, with a strong focus on Adobe Illustrator for graphic design, branding, and vector illustration. I also have experience creating motion graphics and animation using Adobe After Effects. My background in hand-drawn illustration allows me to bring a unique artistic perspective to my digital work, blending traditional techniques with modern design tools.
As a professional graphic designer and freelance illustrator, I am grateful to work in a field that allows me to continually learn, create, and bring ideas to life. Each project is an opportunity to tell a story, connect with others, and create meaningful visual experiences.
