Innovation, Engagement, and Creativity

Ever since I was young, I’ve sought adventure and new opportunities—whether through mountain biking, running, skateboarding, or kayaking. Growing up in a small town in Georgia, I experienced firsthand the power of creativity and community, where friends, family, and neighbors worked together to make lasting memories. That spirit of innovation and connection shaped my passion for interactive design, inspiring me to create meaningful experiences through UX, UI, videography, music production, and product design.

Now, as a student of Interactive Design at Kennesaw State University, I’m developing the technical and creative skills to bring people’s visions to life. Designing enjoyable yet functional experiences is what drives me, and I find purpose in crafting work that blends creativity with usability. My adventurous mindset and collaborative nature make my approach to design unique, ensuring that every project reflects my commitment to exploration and innovation.
