I’m a student at ArtCenter College of Design focusing on branding, motion, and visual interaction.
I’m drawn to work that balances structure and expression, building systems that are both intentional and flexible. My process often starts with form exploration, where simple shapes or sketches evolve into more complex visual languages.
I’m particularly interested in how identities extend beyond static logos into motion, environments, and digital experiences. I see design as a way to create cohesive systems that feel alive across different contexts.

statement of intent
I used to copy entire books by hand, not for school, but to perfect the shape of each letter. As a child, I fixated on the rhythm of handwriting, the consistency of spacing, and the balance between thick and thin strokes. What began as an obsession with penmanship became an early understanding of form, hierarchy, and clarity. That instinct sharpened during the FYI graphic design workshop when typography and layout suddenly clicked. I remember adjusting the tracking on a headline and feeling the composition settle into place, like solving a visual equation. It was the first time I understood design not simply as art, but as structure.
In my Type 1 course, I explored these ideas further through a hierarchy assignment where I designed a typographic layout to guide a viewer through information in a clear and intentional way. I experimented with scale, weight, and spacing to control emphasis and pacing, refining the composition through critique to improve readability and flow. This project shifted how I think about design. I began to focus less on how something looks in isolation and more on how it functions for a user. That shift led me toward UX design. I became more aware of how often digital interfaces are confusing or overwhelming, and I am interested in designing systems that simplify complex information and make interactions more intuitive. I want to create work that is visually compelling while remaining clear, accessible, and easy to navigate.
Your Graphic Design program stands out because of its emphasis on rigor, critique, and conceptual depth. My background in architecture has strengthened my spatial thinking, while my early focus on lettering built precision and attention to detail. I approach design as a system that must work, not just look good. Moving forward, I want to focus on UX design, specifically designing digital experiences that reduce friction and improve how people interact with information in their daily lives. I am particularly interested in making complex systems feel simple, whether through clearer navigation, stronger hierarchy, or more accessible design. I want to be part of a program that challenges my thinking and pushes me to create work that is not only thoughtful, but genuinely useful.
