who i am
a columbus-based creator who is deeply passionate about design
In my designs I focus on concept, communication, and attention to detail in many different forms and media. I believe that design makes connections between people, draws them together, makes them feel emotions and makes them think. I strive to find a harmonious balance between functionality and aesthetics in every design I create.
