While I have always gravitated towards artistic hobbies, I entered college completely unaware that graphic design was a career path. Instead, I graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature in 2016. During those years, I cultivated the ability for storytelling, an understanding of character dynamics, and attention to detail—skills that I now deem crucial in the worlds of marketing and design.
To complement my degree, I completed a graphic design certificate program through UMass Lowell in 2022, where I learned foundational design principles and fine tuned my self-taught Adobe Suite skills. Beyond that, my professional background is firmly rooted in the restaurant industry, where I've cultivated valuable skills in customer management, adept problem-solving in high-pressure environments, and effective team leadership.
When I am not at my computer or drawing table, you can find me knitting, reading, hiking, camping, or behind the bar pouring you a pint at the local brewery.
