I was born and raised in Salt Lake City, UT, and have always had a passion for the arts, whether through performance or illustration. I earned a bachelor’s degree from Weber State University, where I studied fine arts with an emphasis in 2D design. After graduating, I moved to Chicago to expand my worldview and further develop my career goals. I am currently employed as a designer at a local brewery in the Chicagoland area, creating work for annual events, beer labels, and social media graphics.

Beyond design, I have a strong interest in wildlife conservation. I have experience working in education, guest services and volunteered on the saltwater team at the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium. Through this work, I gained a deeper understanding of the importance of public engagement and the collaborative efforts required to make conservation initiatives successful.
