A little about me...

I’m a full-time graphic design student at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama. I'm originally from Auburn, AL, but I also call Bozeman, MT, home. I've honed my skills by practicing on the Adobe Suite, Procreate, and more.

<><><><><> 

Design is my love language and favorite outlet for serving others. I seek to create designs that are bright, honest, detailed, and strongly reinforce the values of brands I work with. 

 <><><><><> 

When I’m not starting a new project, you can find me scoping out new hiking trails, updating my planner, playing violin, posting pictures of wildflowers to my Instagram story, and spending quality time with friends and family.
