Who i am

I'm a senior design major at Tulane University, balancing big ideas with hands-on creativity. My work spans branding, digital media, and advocacy, focusing on empowering overlooked communities and sparking impactful conversations. I thrive on integrating art, design, and storytelling to bring ideas to life- whether through sculptural works, visual communication, or conceptual campaigns.

I firmly believe creativity should be as dynamic as life itself, so you'll never catch me stuck at a desk for too long. Whether experimenting with new materials or diving into community-focused projects, I'm driven by designing a more inclusive and vibrant world and using my skills to ensure everyone has a seat at the table.
