Ceasefire

I cry for those lives that have been lost.

I cry for the current state of our world.

We all can do better together.

We are just vibrant specks of dust beautifully sprinkled amongst a shared place we respectively call our home.

Share love and kindness to all.

Hello.

I'm a Graphic Designer and Visual Artist based in Los Angeles, CA.

I'm currently in search of opportunities with brands, studios and agencies that continue to commit to supporting diversity and equal representation.

Recently, I've been working with a multi-disciplinary production studio designing experiences for conventions, parties and events in the music, technology and gaming industries. My previous background is in advertising, marketing and brand building.

This site showcases select graphic deliverables from larger projects. It includes experiences, identity design, animations, posters and party flyers. Please view my Work page. You will also find some case studies and my resume below.
