About Me
I am a Brand Designer and Illustrator based in Baltimore, currently pursuing an MA in Graphic Design at the Maryland Institute College of Art. My experience spans brand design, marketing campaigns, web/print collateral, and illustrations across Product, Marketing, and Creative Studio environments.
Design, for me, is about raw expression and evocative storytelling. I like to create visuals that feel slightly but purposefully unfiltered, guiding the viewer through a specific emotion or idea. In my illustration work, I focus on low-brow and old-school tattoo art, often featuring gritty, red-themed compositions with a touch of surrealism.
