As designer and artist moved by the rhythm of color, thought, data, and human connection. My work is born from a belief that creativity can open our eyes — not only to beauty, but to truth.
Each piece I create is a conversation about equity, awareness, and belonging. I seek to go beyond the surface of equality, exploring instead the deeper essence of empathy — that quiet space where understanding and grace meet. Through layers of color and form, I invite viewers to pause, reflect, and feel the weight and warmth of what connects us.
My path has been shaped by years of designing for the world we build and imagining the one we hope to create. As a Senior Designer and Digital Product Lead, I’ve spent over a decade translating ideas into visual language — crafting brand stories, user experiences, and design systems that move with both intention and emotion. But my art is where I return to the core of it all: the human experience.
With a B.A. in Graphic Design and Painting from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and certifications in UX and Human-Centered Design, I carry both structure and soul into my practice — the balance between precision and passion, design and discovery.
Every stroke, every texture, every digital frame is a meditation on what was, what is, and what might still become. My hope is that through my work, you’ll find a reflection of yourself — and a reminder that creativity is, at its heart, an act of empathy.
