Where I've Been
I’ve navigated creative landscapes from the vibrant art scenes of Los Angeles, to the energy of Louisville, and now back to my Cincinnati roots. These places taught me that great design comes from a blend of strategic insight and personal passion; and that real success is measured by both professional milestones and a life well-lived.
Where I’ve Made Impact
From helping raise $10MM at SoLo Funds, leading creative marketing at Town Talk Headwear (featured in PGA of America Magazine), to leading national live event tour campaigns, I focus on delivering design that resonates, with strategy that scales.

"I thrive on real-world experiences that deepen my understanding of how design influences our decisions and behavior.
And I translate complex ideas into visual, dynamic stories."

Why I create
Art as Survival:
I create because I have to.
Because survival isn’t just about breathing, it’s about expression.
My work turns struggle into story; it speaks when words fail.

Empathy as Design:
I believe design is a bridge between people, emotions, experiences.
Empathy drives everything I do.
I create for those who’ve been silenced, for those who endure.

Perseverance in Process:
I embrace the imperfect, the messy, the raw.
Because that’s where the truth lives.
My work is a conversation between loss and hope.
A reminder: "we’re still here, we’re still standing."
