ABOUT

I'm a creative professional with a diverse background in Art, Design & Sociology, passionate about design, fashion, visual storytelling, collaboration, and the outdoors. My brand Yellow Symphony is the home for all my design and digital artwork.

 

I’m interested in design for e-commerce and apparel, I bring experience working with diverse small businesses, helping them with packaging design, logo design, branding, and apparel projects. With Leafcutter Farms, I designed their logo and brand identity which has been carried across various social media assets, packaging, banners, stickers and apparel.

 

Recently, I had the opportunity to work in a photography studio and delved into the world of photo styling, utilizing my design skills with physical assets. I had the opportunity to style wardrobes, sets, and engage in select and editing processes. I really enjoyed working in such a collaborative and style forward environment.

 

Beyond my professional life, I stay active by snowboarding during the winter months and spending summers by the water. At home, one of my cats is usually by my side while I’m creating. To express my unique art style I create digital illustration in procreate, these contribute to my creativity, and craftsmanship. My perspective is based in environments and experience.

 

Growing up in Seattle and previously living in Colorado, I love the outdoors and have a deep connection with nature. At the University of Colorado-Boulder, I pursued Sociology and Digital Art, fostering my creative mindset and design approach.

 

To advance my skillset, I completed a graphic design certificate program at the California Institute of the Arts. This program equipped me with a solid understanding of design principles and sharpened my expertise in various design tools. As a result, I bring a fresh perspective and innovative ideas to every project.

 

If you're looking for a dedicated and versatile designer, illustrator, or stylist I'd love to discuss how I can bring your vision to life. Please explore my portfolio and feel free to get in touch for any freelance opportunities or collaborations.
