I’m a graphic designer and student at Yale (’26).

I love typography, motion graphics, and design systems. Before studying graphic design, I practiced blackletter calligraphy, to which I owe my interest in typography and lettering.

Much of my professional experience involves designing for artists, including Jeffrey Gibson, Mickalene Thomas, and Joel Mesler, as well as with arts organizations, including Sotheby’s, Christie’s, and JOOPITER.

I’ve worked as a graphic design intern for Irma Boom Office, Mickalene Thomas Studio, and Hyperallergic.

I believe that, in the age of artificial intelligence, the human touch becomes even more important. I incorporate handwriting — from inscriptions under desks, to blackletter calligraphy, to organic flower shapes — into much of my work. I believe that this emphasis on incorporating the human hand distinguishes my work from the work of other designers, human and non-human.

I’m currently seeking a full-time role and always interested in freelance work.
