I am a designer, artist, and curator who believes in the power of art to bring people together. I graduated from Rhode Island College's Digital Media program in 2020 and won the Senior Art Award the following spring. For five years, I had the privilege of serving as the Founder and Executive Director of Haus of Codec, where I combined my love for the arts, education and working directly with young adults.
From my experience as an Andrew W. Mellon Creative Production Intern at the RISD Museum to my current pursuit of a Creative Director Certificate from ELVTR, my journey is about constantly finding new ways to push creative boundaries. Whether I am designing visual assets, organizing a new gallery space, or leading a community initiative, my goal is to bring people together through accessible, impactful design.
