My heart is in multi-page design. InDesign is my home
and trying to make nice with web design. I love working
with images, illustrations and typography to create a
truly beautiful and informative piece. My designs are
clean and organized, but I enjoy a little quirky flare. I’m
interested in all types of design and always looking for
new ways to design and push into other medias to be a
well-rounded designer in both the print and digital world.
