I’m a firm believer that design can be used as a universal language, a platform for inclusivity, and a place to experiment. I have extensive experience working in a studio, in-house, and freelancing. I love working collaboratively with others and have a niche understanding of coffee communities!
Fun fact: I'm a certified welder!
