As a designer with a robust background in the performing art, my aesthetic tendencies are at once free-form and organic, detailed and intricate yet robust, and—at times—irreverent. My biggest motivator is a constant and voracious desire to learn.
Outside of design, I enjoy yoga, dance, hiking, reading, furniture + interior design, collage and extended creative exploration. I am currently based in Salt Lake City.

design intern at the united states ski & snowboard association
