Member Since

January 2025

I’m an environmental graphic designer with nearly two years of experience dedicated to creating sustainable and immersive environments. My background in architecture and urban environments has significantly contributed to my design knowledge and enhanced my ability to create meaningful and impactful environments. Within my professional work, I have primarily collaborated with educational institutions to create wayfinding systems and immersive graphics. As a member of SEGD, I aim to contribute my expertise and collaborate with others committed to making a positive impact through design.

Ask me about

Ask me any questions about ArcGIS and mapping! As a former urban designer, mapping is second nature to me and one of my favorite ways to display spatial information.

My super power is

Spatial analysis! Spatial analysis is the most important and interesting part of design because it is needed to understand a location’s social, environmental, and economic contexts, ultimately informing design decisions. This process also helps identify existing features, challenges, and opportunities, ensuring that new designs harmonize with and enhance the surrounding environment.

I'm looking for

I am looking to expand my knowledge to create branded environments, signage, and wayfinding packages, as well as incorporating accessible designs into my professional practice.

What I love about experience design

I love that environmental graphic design is a field full of highly creative people who are determined to create thoughtful and impactful experiences. This field also requires understanding human behavior and the environment, allowing designers to solve complex spatial challenges innovatively. Merging architecture, urban design, and graphic design, EGD is a field rooted in multidisciplinary collaboration.

Best piece of advice I've ever heard

Career growth takes time. Stay committed to your path and trust that the hard work you put in will pay off.

I find most of my inspiration through sites like Behance, where creative individuals of all backgrounds and expertise can showcase artwork.
