I am a graphic designer and photographer based in Richmond, Virginia, currently pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design at Virginia Commonwealth University. My work explores themes of fashion sustainability and identity, often blending research-driven design with visual storytelling.

With over three years of experience in photography, I integrate image-making into my design practice to create cohesive and intentional work. I have interned and assisted local photographers including Ashley Loth (SoundSnapPhoto), Kim Brundage Photography, and Evan Ajin (HappyFleck Photo/Video), where I trained in portrait, branding, boudoir, editorial, and videography.

In addition, I interned with Megan Wilson of Sweet Talk Strategy, gaining experience in social media management, brand collaboration, client communication, and content creation for growing small businesses.

I currently serve as Media and Communications Chair for Nate’s Promise, a VCU organization dedicated to supporting and advocating for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. In this role, I lead branding, website design, social media strategy, and promotional materials, helping expand the organization’s outreach and partnerships with local advocacy groups.
