As a growing designer, I find myself incorporating the spirit of play in the pursuit of exploring form—namely through colour, type, and visual stories to craft memorable narratives, identities, and experiences that connect people, cultures, and communities together. With a deep background in photography, visual arts, and the art of making, my interdisciplinary creative practice is marked by collaboration and informed by different courses and methods of creation—enabling me to move, scale, and experiment across graphic, brand, spatial, digital, and tactile experiences.
In addition to designing, I am also a graduate of Critical Communication Studies with a focus in Science and Technology Studies (STS) and the Postmodern Condition. My advocacy in my design practice is rooted upon the intricacies of marginalized experiences throughout digital and lived infrastructures of class, power, and praxis. Where design and STS intersect, I enjoy exploring areas of speculative design to imagine possible futures and radical placemaking that stride toward liberation and widespread community prosperity.
