About Me

Welcome to my portfolio! I am a Graphic Communications major with a Business Administration minor at Clemson University. Design has been a passion of mine from a young age, and my time at Clemson University has allowed me to explore all aspects of this ever-evolving field through hands-on experiences and exposure to cutting-edge techniques. I've discovered a particular enthusiasm for the printing and marketing industries. These areas excite me because they combine creativity with strategy, enabling me to bring ideas to life while delivering impactful messages to a broader audience. I am eager to share my process and the results. Thank you for visiting—I hope my portfolio inspires and resonates with you!

My Design Approach

My design approach begins with a deep dive into brainstorming, often using resources like Pinterest to gather inspiration and explore visual ideas. This process helps me identify trends, textures, and styles that align with the project’s goals. From there, I experimented with conceptual designs, typically within Adobe, which allowed me to visualize ideas quickly and refine them in real-time. This hands-on exploration helps me get a feel for the design direction and ensures the final outcome is both visually compelling and strategically aligned with the brand or concept.
