I’m a handletterer, illustrator, and designer currently based in Chicago.

After registering for every possible art/design elective throughout High School, I ventured to Cal Poly in sunny San Luis Obispo to study Graphic Communication, with a focus in Design Reproduction Technology. During all my other non-design-related classes, I found myself filling the margins of notebooks with doodles and lettered words/phrases (guess this marks the start of my handlettering obsession?).

Today, in addition to handlettering, you’ll find playful illustrations and color palettes throughout my work. I’m happiest when I am simply creating! When i’m not creating, you can find me exploring new cities, petting all the dogs, and enjoying a chai tea latte at the closest coffee shop.

Find my work at Target stores, Pottery Barn Teen, and Minted.
