ABOUT ME

About me

I work across brand systems, campaigns, apparel, and web. Currently Lead Graphic Designer at Al-Misbaah, a community nonprofit supporting refugee families, and a designer at 5ivepillars, a global apparel brand.

I came up in-house, which taught me the range. Drafting the tech pack, running the launch, building the page it lives on. It made me a sharper designer for it, and it's where I learned the craft is in knowing when each part matters.

Outside of the work, I shoot film. It's the practice that keeps me honest, slow, patient, and reminded that the best images are the ones I waited for. Faith shapes a lot of how I think about design too, quietly, in the background, the belief that good work is worth doing carefully because someone on the other end will feel it.

I recently earned a B.S. in Design Studies from CSU Sacramento, the first in my family to finish a four-year degree. I'm based in California and open to full-time design work anywhere.

Philosophy

I don't chase the loudest idea, I sit with the right one. Design, to me, is an act of patience. The problem tells you what it needs, the audience tells you how to say it, and the work is in listening before making.

I work across brand, campaigns, apparel, and web. In-house taught me the range, drafting the tech pack, running the launch, building the page it lives on, and it made me a sharper designer for it. The craft is in knowing when each part matters.

Currently looking for full-time design work, in-house or on a team. Based in California, open to remote or relocation.
