Art Director

I’m so excited to be the Art Director of the Collective this semester! I have a passion for creativity that extends beyond graphic design. With a background in fine arts, I integrate analog techniques like screenprinting, ceramics, collage, painting, and sewing into my digital design practice to create unexpected outcomes. My biggest inspiration comes from my community, ensuring that my work resonates and holds meaning for my audience. For me, design is about the relationships formed, the conversations had, and the process of collaborating to build mutual understanding.
