Education
I started my college studies at Harrisburg Area Community College for 2 years, studying a variety of disciplines. I then transferred to Kutztown University and studied graphic design, illustration, interactive and web design as well as advertising for 4 more years. I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Communication Design in 2022 from Kutztown University.

The Niche is Me
Ironically, I never had planned on becoming a designer, yet here I am! I've always had a wide array of interests. Hats I've worn include "musician" "actor" "athlete" "teacher" "dancer" "organizer" and "writer". For a while, I couldn't decide on what my "thing" is. Now, I believe you don't have to, as everything you learn and experience comes into use in ways you can never imagine.

Type is Everything
Even if you don't consider yourself a reader, you read way more on an everyday basis than you realize. From texts and social media posts to the weather report Siri delivers you each morning. Typography is incredibly powerful in how we relate to those words and in the context of a brand, it sets the tone even when we aren't paying attention to it. I pay extra attention to how I treat my typography and in my own time I love practicing some hand-lettering... and the results are well worth it.
Listen up!
I had the honor of being the interviewed guest on Episode 70 of the Be Kind Podcast presented by the Animal Advocates of South Central PA.
The podcast talks to vegans and like-minded folks in the community and beyond. They also do reviews for books, movies, shows, and highlight vegan businesses in the surrounding areas. The Be Kind Podcast strives to have thought-provoking discussions about current vegan issues, educate on new media, and promote vegan living to all who listen.
