Why am I an RGD?
Accessibility, ethics, and professionalism are extremely important to me, and having a designation that shows my stance on those topics is vital to communicating those things to clients, employers, and colleagues.What is my most memorable RGD moment?
Being featured as a Provisional RGD in December of 2021 when I was going through a lot of self-doubt.Why am I a designer?
I have always been obsessed with art & creativity, particularly typography & lettering. Design allows me to explore those things while assisting clients in their visual communication efforts.Why should you hire me?
My work aims to effectively communicate to audiences through a visual language that resonates with them.Where do I see myself in 5 years?
Senior Designer, Art Director, or Creative Director at an organization whose values reflect my own, or freelancing full-time.Contributions to RGD
