PHILOSOPHY

 

The most memorable kind of communication comes through telling and sharing authentic stories. I have always been passionate about the art of storytelling - whether through graphic design, writing, videography, photography, or illustration.

 

Regardless of the format, I always try to incorporate storytelling into my work. I've worked in a wide variety of industries, from small businesses, to nonprofits, to a Fortune 500 brand.
