I am a multidisciplinary designer and illustrator specializing in creating visually rich experiences at the intersection of art and technology. My formal design education began at the Art Center College of Design before I chose to move directly into the tech industry. This led me to a long-term role at Tumblr, where I started as a theme designer. My work gained significant traction, ultimately generating over a million downloads and six-figure sales, which paved the way for me to lead the Themecloset template platform.My design philosophy is centered on finding beauty in imperfection, inspired by a love for botany and vibrant illustration. Although my focus is design, I am a TypeScript and Svelte enthusiast with practical knowledge of Vue, Python, React, and Go. This technical literacy ensures my creative concepts are always grounded in feasibility, making me a unique bridge between design and development teams.
Currently, I am expanding my illustration and poster business while seeking freelance projects where I can apply my distinct blend of creative vision and technical insight.
