Living my best life sharing an apartment with my best friend and her two cats, Margot and Kuzco. I enjoy kickboxing, video gaming, and going to broadway shows and concerts.

My comfort movie is Pride and Prejudice (2005). I think the Lord of the Rings trilogy is a masterpiece in storytelling and I watch it every winter. I’m a huge zombie movie fan though!
For TV shows, I loved Widow’s Bay and Good Omens. My favorite might be Alice in Borderland.

I’m a huge dystopian and fantasy fan! I’m currently reading the Silo trilogy. The Priory of the Orange Tree is on my TBR. I loved One Dark Window and Two Twisted Crowns. My all time favorite will always be Warm Bodies.

I’m a pop punk girl from way back! Green Day will always be my #1 and I’ve seen them in concert twice. I also like to listen to video game soundtracks when I’m working. The Hades soundtrack is top tier (and so is the game).

I received my graphic design degree in 2020. I freelanced and bartended until I was hired on full time at a corporate non-profit. Three years later, I’m burnt out feeling like a vending machine for flyers and social posts. I was then laid off the same week I won an award for an animation I’d done! And I was relieved!
I wondered if I even wanted to do design anymore or if it was even worth it with the rise of AI stealing work. All I knew was that I wanted to work for myself. But then, for every business idea I had, I realized I really enjoyed creating the branding for it. So I decided to lean into that and bring great branding to other entrepreneurs like me who are brave enough to try.
