About Me
I grew up thumbing through magazines and newspapers. You could say I'm curious; I believe everyone has a story to tell, and I love to hear them. I eventually found out I also love to present stories in a fresh, captivating way.
I am experienced with editorial and advertising design, but these days you'll also find me doodling and sketching — I'm working on my illustration and digital skills.
