About
I'm 26 and a graphic designer/illustrator. Currently, I'm working on freelance projects involving brand, package, and web design. I also illustrate and sell hand drawn paper goods on Etsy. I'm inspired by pretty food, vintage lettering, fancy packaging, traveling, and everything that is hand drawn. I like cozy colors, polka dots, and things that look happy. Branding and typography are my favorites. When I have time, I like to bake and then photograph the results. I also lived in Germany for two years while getting my master's degree.
