a designer based in raleigh, nc. my goal is to ask better questions, to bring shape and order to complexity, to design systems that breathe. i want to work closely with people who are building something real, something that feels alive.

a series of print layouts and advertisements designed for raleigh’s leading lifestyle publication. working within existing brand systems, I focused on elevating the visual pacing, tightening typographic rhythm, and creating layouts that feel both clean and editorially rich.

logo in a week? no problem! a bold, playful identity for a fundraising event celebrating whole-hog bbq and community. this project was all about speed, clarity, and tone. i built a small but expressive system—logo, typography, layout, and print collateral—that captured the energy of the event while staying practical for production. fun, fast, and a little bit funky.

an identity for a boutique hotel designed with softness, warmth, and restraint. daphne is imagined as a place that feels slow and sensual—where every detail, from the type to the tone, tickles the imagination. i built a brand system around these ideas: delicate typography, a muted palette, and organic compositions that suggest presence without loudness.

blue fire gin is a playful nod to victorian-era packaging with a fiery twist. Inspired blue fire, the first special effect in the victorian theatre, the label mixes ornate hand-drawn type with moody, vibrant colors to match the drink’s spicy character. it’s all about contrast—old-world charm meets modern energy—wrapped up in a bottle that feels as lively as what’s inside.

the metamorphosis was my deep dive into the strange, beautiful, and unsettling world of franz kafka. I wanted to reimagine the story not just through words, but through what I like to call “type as image.” every page became a playground for transformation, distortion, and visual tension, echoing the surreal unraveling in kafka’s narrative.
