About
I am a recent graduate of Willamette University with degrees in Cultural Anthropology and American Ethnic Studies. My heart dwells in design and I wish to bridge the gap between creating and problem solving. Currently I am working with various startup companies designing logos and brainstorming social and environmentally sustainable solutions for products and services. In the future, I hope to bridge social, environmental, and economic rifts in our society through sustainable design.
