Design & Interactive
I’m a recent graduate from Ringling College of Art and Design, the Graphic and Interactive Communication department. I’ve been fortunate to study in three different countries, learn from different cultures, and grow as a person and designer. Designing keeps me alive; creating keeps me awake. I never sleep. The following collection of works represents my sleepless years at Ringling and the Design Center. Please, enjoy them as much as I enjoyed dreaming of them.
