I've been exploring what it means to be creative for as long as my family and I can remember. From a young age I adored drawing and using cameras. My love for art carried all throughout middle school and high school as I was heavily involved in my art program and won a few state competitions. Looking back, I was practicing graphic design before I even really knew what it was. I was the designated “poster girl” for my class. For every promposal, hallway spirit competition, sporting event, or occasion that needed a poster, I was painting it.

I graduated from Texas Tech University in 2020 with a Creative Media Industries Bachelor’s Degree. During my time at Texas Tech, I was a photo journalist and eventually Photo Editor for The Daily Toreador Newspaper for three years, leading a team of 7 talented photographers. We went on to win multiple Addy Awards and Best Staff. The Daily Toreador was the first place that truly felt like a creative home for me. Not only did I learn how to master a camera, I learned how to lead and work with people.

I have been a brand designer for two years now and a photographer for much longer than that. Branding is where I have found my true niche in the creative world and passion for transforming what small business owners like myself thought their brand could look like. I love bringing a fresh perspective to clients and pushing boundaries that their industry may have not seen before.

Oh, where do I start! Although I would describe myself as a creative first, I’m a lot more than that.

I’ve always described myself as “the son my dad never had” because I’ve loved sports my entire life and fitness is a huge part of me. Between boxing, weight lifting, hiking, hot pilates, attempting to become a tennis prodigy at 25 (took two lessons but bought cute outfits), or the iconic half marathon mid-20s crisis, I love it all.

Growing up in a small town, Commerce, TX, we never had many shopping options. My mom and I’s favorite place was Goodwill (still is) to treasure hunt for unique pieces and fun clothing. That love has never left me! I’m an avid thrifter for clothing and interior design. Expressing myself through clothing and home decor is a huge part of who I am.

I love watercolor painting (my mom is a watercolor artist), hand drawing cards, getting lost in a fiction novel, playing with my adorable dog Rory who is my whole heart, and spending time with my very best friends.
