Hello, thanks for visiting. I'm a graphic designer based out of San Francisco. My passion is story telling and I love when I can use graphic design to help craft a story and bring attention to a topic that might otherwise go unnoticed. One of the biggest benefits of being a designer is it gives me the ability to explore different topics that inspire me.
During my time as a designer, a few aspects of design have started to become more important to me than others. Of these storytelling is at the top. Of all the projects I've worked on, my favorites are always the ones where I learn something about the topic I'm designing for and applied that learning process to the story of the design in various ways. The second is community outreach.
I have volunteered to work on a joint projects between AIGA+SF and LaCocina to help brand new minority run businesses centered in the Mission District. Also the democratization of design has become important to me. I volunteer to help run design workshops with kids at a high school in San Francisco. This is one of the most rewarding experiences I take part in as a designer.
