I aim to uplift those that make a positive impact. Since starting at Elon University in 2021, I’ve turned myself into an informational sponge trying to absorb everything necessary to achieve this dream.
My eagerness to learn has allowed me to be a good listener, a hard worker, and unafraid to try new things. I am currently looking for positions in creative agencies, marketing agencies, and other organizations where I can apply my skills to help bring positive change.
Below are a few photos that I am proud of and represent my journey as a graphic designer.
At the Doherty Center, we organized Daymond John of Shark Tank to come give feedback to 4 student entrepreneurs and their business pitches. I, alongside my friend Trinity, introduced Daymond to the packed theatre. I also assisted the entrepreneurs in their presentations. Here is Daymond showing admiration of the promotional slide that I had designed for the event.

Paula Scher and I. I got to talk to her for about 15 minutes about the creative industry and brand design. Best 15 minute conversation of my life.

A couple of my peers and I introducing Cooper Harris (CEO of Klickly) at an event we organized with the Doherty Center. I designed the flyer behind us.

A few of my peers and I meeting Debbie Millman of Design Matters at the 2023 AIGA Conference

I met Tom Geismar of Chermayeff & Geismar after he presented a story on how him and his team developed the Department of Transportation icons found at every airport.
