Background
My graphic design and digital work carry that same sense of curiosity, paired with a focus on clarity and intention. I approach projects with an artist’s eye and a designer’s mindset, drawing on fundamentals like composition, color, and storytelling to create thoughtful solutions. As my practice continues to evolve, I enjoy finding new ways to bridge expressive art and practical design.
I’m a North Carolina–based artist and designer working across fine art and digital design.
My background in drawing and painting has grown into a multidisciplinary practice that includes digital illustration, graphic design, and 3D rendering. I’ve worked across a wide range of mediums, from photo-realistic colored pencil and surrealist oil painting, to digital design tools , allowing my process to shift naturally between hands-on and technical spaces.
I’m deeply inspired by the natural world and often explore imagined or unfamiliar spaces through shape, texture, and atmosphere. Much of my fine art leans toward abstraction, creating work that can feel quiet and meditative at times, or more unsettling and visceral at others. These pieces invite open interpretation and personal response.
