About me.
My strengths lie in visual design. I have dedicated my life to studying and practicing thoughtful design, applying these principles to every project I take on. I hold degrees in Multimedia Design and Architectural Design, and I am currently pursuing a Graduate Certificate in Instructional Design, focusing on making digital spaces more inclusive and accessible.
The photo of me is from 2022, after I found out that I won a blue ribbon for my painting at the Oregon State Fair. This might be the highlight of my life; only time will tell. I have always loved art and design. I’m an Interior Designer by day and a Dreaming Artist by night. I started a blog about American Art to find context and inspiration in the work of artists who came before.
