Working with an architecture firm has taught me the value of stepping back and observing the details of the built environment. I’ve developed a deeper appreciation for how materials come together beyond the digital space and how design shapes our lived experiences. As an emerging graphic designer with a passion for experiential design, I’m driven to create intuitive and impactful environments through branding, way-finding, and spatial storytelling. Currently honing my skills in an architectural setting, I’m fascinated by design systems thinking and the power of empathy-driven design to transform spaces into meaningful, inclusive places.
