About Me
I'm a design generalist with skills in Brand, UI/UX, Motion, and Web design. I love exploring the intersections of design and business, leveraging technology and strategic thinking to create real world impact. Down-to-earth and practical, with a coachable attitude, I take a pragmatic approach to my work—understanding that good design, blended with thoughtful positioning and strategy, can be transformational to any business or organization.
I'm a self-starter and a quick learner of software and design tools, with a strong foundation in the principles of great layout and typography. I have a strong eye for detail in my work, but I also love working on projects that push me to think big picture.
Background
I'm from a diverse background, having dual nationality in the US and England, while also growing up in three different countries in Africa—Botswana, Zambia, & Kenya. I love to travel to new places and meet people from different cultures around the world.
Currently I am based in Northwest Arkansas, where I'm finishing my degree at John Brown University.
Personal Hobbies
In my free time I enjoy keeping active—playing soccer (and watching it), going to the gym, and more recently I've been getting into running. I also enjoy the outdoors and recently went skiing for the first time (didn't really have that in Africa :).
