For as long as I can remember, design and music have played a part in my life. As a kid, I would spend hours flipping through my parents’ CD collection, choosing albums based on the artwork that drew my eye the most. That fascination with visuals and storytelling stuck with me and grew into a burning creativity.

In middle school, I found my own favorite artists and got sucked into the visual worlds they built around their music: album covers, tour posters, and especially merchandise. Halsey’s graphic designer, Garrett Hilliker, was a huge early influence for me in learning the craft of design. I started making “album covers” for my playlists and designing Snapchat filters for my high school. These small projects taught me how design can connect people to a shared experience.

Since then, I have developed my skills in composition, color, and typography across branding, print, and digital media. While I have explored many aspects of design from social media campaigns to brand identity, my greatest passion is merchandise and visual branding for touring artists. I love the challenge of translating an album’s story into something tangible that a fan can take home, a keepsake that they hold onto for years to come.

In May 2024, I graduated from Southern New Hampshire University with a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design & Media Arts. Now I’m focused on collaborating with musicians, tour teams, and entertainment brands to create designs that live on long after the show ends.
