ABOUT ME

I’m someone who enjoys building things from the ground up, whether that’s a design project or just an idea I want to develop further. I like taking something simple and refining it over time until it feels complete and intentional.
 

I’ve lived in Raleigh for the past 10 years, and at one point I moved… only to end up about five minutes away from my old house. It’s a small detail, but it’s always been a funny reminder of how familiar and comfortable this area feels to me. Outside of design, a lot of my time is spent staying active and working on personal projects. I enjoy going to the gym and finding a balance between being productive and taking time to reset. I also have a German Shepherd named Cooper, who’s about seven years old and has been a big part of my day-to-day life—usually nearby while I’m working.
 

I tend to be detail-oriented and patient with my process, often going back to refine things until everything feels right. Whether it’s design or something else I’m working on, I like seeing steady progress and building toward something meaningful. I’m currently finishing my degree and will be graduating this May, with plans to walk at graduation. I’m continuing to grow both creatively and personally, with the goal of developing work that feels thoughtful, balanced, and well put together.
