I create thoughtful, visually distinct work shaped by strategy, typography, and a strong editorial eye. My background spans agency, in-house, freelance, and self-initiated work, with experience across websites, visual systems, campaigns, and digital design.

Over the past several years, I’ve worked with marketers, copywriters, UX designers, developers, and creative directors on a wide range of projects, from full-scale websites to brand and campaign work. Most recently, I’ve also been building my own projects, including Palmer House, my website template business, and Fixed Frame, a movie-inspired brand I help shape through visual direction, design, and photography.

I’m especially drawn to work that balances clarity with atmosphere. A lot of what informs my approach comes from outside traditional design references — film, photography, fashion, typography, and visual worlds with a strong sense of mood. I’m currently looking for opportunities where I can continue growing into art direction while bringing a solid foundation in digital design and visual storytelling.

A visual designer focused on art direction, web design, and brand-led digital experiences.
