Graphic Designer

INTRODUCTION

I’m a graphic designer driven by a deep passion for creativity, craftsmanship, and purpose. For me, design isn’t just a job, it’s a reflection of the intentional beauty I see in the world around me, especially in nature. I believe that every detail, from the structure of a leaf to the complexity of DNA, points to the work of a master Creator. My Christian faith deeply informs my design philosophy: I see God as the ultimate designer, and I strive to reflect that intentionality and excellence in everything I create. I approach each project with strategy, creativity, and a relentless drive to solve problems. I’m detail-obsessed, exploration-focused, and not afraid to face failure head-on, because I know that’s where growth and great designs are born.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

I believe that design is never random—it’s intentional, meaningful, and deeply rooted in purpose. As a graphic designer, I’m constantly inspired by the natural world, where every detail, pattern, and structure reflects thoughtful design. I see the same intentionality in my work, and I strive to echo that in everything I create.

My Christian faith is at the core of my design philosophy. I believe God is the original Designer—infinitely creative and intentional in every aspect of creation, down to the smallest strand of DNA. That belief fuels my desire to create with excellence, clarity, and purpose. I don’t just want things to look good—I want them to mean something.

Every project I take on is a challenge to solve—a puzzle to be explored from every angle. I’m strategic in my approach, diving deep into possibilities, asking questions, and crafting solutions that are both beautiful and functional. I embrace failure as part of the process, because I know that persistence, humility, and creativity always lead to better results.

Above all, I care deeply about the details. Because in design—just like in nature—the smallest elements often make the biggest impact.

SKILLS

I’m proficient in a wide range of design tools, including Adobe Creative Suite—Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, After Effects, Dimensions, and Premiere Pro. I also have experience in 3D design using SketchUp, which allows me to bring ideas to life with depth and spatial awareness. My creative strengths lie in branding, layout, typography, and motion graphics, with a sharp eye for detail and a passion for crafting purposeful, strategic design solutions.

Beyond technical skills, I bring strong collaboration and communication abilities to every project. I thrive in team environments and value the power of great conversations to spark even better ideas. As a small business owner, I also understand the importance of strategy, deadlines, and delivering value. I approach each challenge with a creative mindset, a drive for continuous improvement, and a deep commitment to excellence in everything I do.

EDUCATION

I graduated from Arizona State University with a Bachelor of Science in Graphic Design, earning academic honors Magna Cum Laude. Throughout my five years in college, I immersed myself in hands-on design experience—balancing coursework with real-world projects that challenged and refined my creative process. My time at ASU laid a strong foundation in both the technical and conceptual sides of design, giving me the tools to think critically, design strategically, and work confidently in a variety of mediums.
