I am a graphic designer and artist living in Orange County, CA. My goal in life is to pursue as many opportunities to create. Creating meaningful work is my passion and includes pursuits like design, photography, and volunteering! In my spare time I enjoy hiking, trying new foods, and watching shows. My approach to any project is to always think about the goals, target audience, and what would be some options that will best fit the situation.
