Designer Statement
I am an integrative designer who approaches design as a way to create visuals, objects, and environments that feel both intentional and captivating. My areas of focus span across graphic design, digital media, print media, photography, textile arts, garment construction, and interior design, allowing me to bring a comprehensive perspective to every project.Â
Â
I build cohesive experiences inspired by the elegance of art deco, ornamentation of Rococo art, and the natural beauty of the environment. My designs are often characterized by soft femininity, intricate linework, earthy tones, and a subtle bohemian spirit throughout, creating work that feels both curated and organic.Â
Â
Driven by an easy-going yet strategic approach, I focus on outcomes: improving usability, increasing sales, and extending the life of products through intentional design. I believe design should be beautiful, lasting, and functional. My goal is to create work that not only stands out in the moment, but continues to hold value for years to come. I design pieces that enhance experience, support commercial success, and remain meaningful over time.
