I am a graphic designer living and working in Santa Cruz, CA. I have a passion for type design and have recently completed the Type West Post Graduate program. I’ve always had a lifelong affinity for typography, storytelling, and developing systems.
Outside of work, I can usually be found working on one of my hobbies (most likely knitting), walking my dog, or eating something delicious my partner made for dinner.
