I'm a graphic designer and recent Parsons School of Design graduate specializing in editorial, print and publication design. My work spans print, publication and interactive projects where concept drives form rather than follows it.

That practice is grounded in research and cultural curiosity, a genuine interest in how objects, colors and systems carry meaning before they ever become design decisions. I'm drawn to the kinds of stories that reward close attention: the history embedded in a pigment, the structure hidden in a letterform, the way a typeface can carry the memory of the place it came from.

Outside of design, I'm equally drawn to travel, food and music. The same interest runs through all of it: how culture accumulates, moves and transforms.
