About

I am a recent graduate of Northeastern University, with a degree in Graphic & Information Design and Communication Studies, and minor in Data Science. One of the most influential design experiences I've gained since attending Northeastern was my 6-month co-op with Radish Lab. I learned invaluable knowledge about the design process at a fast-paced agency and gained a real passion for web design. Along with my co-op experiences, Ive gained design knowledge from Scout, Northeasterns student-led design studio. I am a passionate and reliable leader. At Northeastern, I was the graphic designer for Spark*, a student art collective at Northeastern. I also held a leadership position within Scout as a Project Lead for the Studio Team. Through these positions, I have gained time management, communication, and group-work skills. Looking forward, I am determined to utilize the skills and knowledge I've gained at Northeastern as I step into the professional world full time. I am excited to continue my professional design work as a freelancer as well. Please feel free to contact me for commissions or if you are aware of a design position that I am a good fit for.
