About me

I have a huge passion for Design, Photography, and Photo/Video Editing. I am very detail oriented, self motivated, and open-minded. I have been a photographer for about 7 years now, and have 2 years experience in the graphic design field. As a hobby, I also create desert crafts such as wire tree sculptures and cactus skeleton decorations. 

I am originally from Ohio, but moved to Arizona in 2011. Due to the rich atmosphere and diverse landscape, I was quickly able to develop my photography skills and learn immensely. You will often find me outdoors kayaking, hiking, quading, and much more. I have a passion for documenting nature and landscapes through photos and various types of artworks.

 

After graduating high school, I decided to pursue my interest in design, and have now been attending Central Arizona College for 2 years now. I am currently working towards my Associates Degree in Graphic Design.

Print & Sign Express

I worked as a graphic designer and helped create posters, business cards, invitations,

t-shirts, signage, vinyl stickers, and more. 

In my position, I designed new content, worked with and contacted customers, revised old documents, and assisted in the printing, cutting, and signage processes. I used Adobe Photoshop, Indesign, and Illustrator daily.

Etsy

Wire Tree Sculptures, Desert Crafts

I find inspiration everyday here in beautiful Arizona through the land, weather, and people I am surrounded by. I am often outdoors and so I am always out learning new things, acquiring new ideas, gathering inspiration, taking photos, and collecting new materials.

Photography

Wildlife & Landscapes

I specialize in photographing nature - as it is where I feel most at home. I also have experience photographing live events such as concerts and theatre.
