Nice to meet you!

By daylight, I study design at Carnegie Mellon University. By starlight, I work & create sticker designs for my Etsy shop.

Growing up, I was a HUGE fine arts kid. I spent countless hours painting at my local art studio, doodling in class, and going to art museums. In high school, I discovered design and fell in deeper in love with creating.

To me, fine arts revolves around self-expression, while design around empathy. I feel incredibly lucky to explore both: the beauty of self-expression and function.

I aspire to create experiences that are both functional and delightful. My biggest goal as a designer is to create things that make the people around me smile.

In my spare time, you can find me singing along to my "current" playlist, writing (bad) poetry, playing volleyball, doodling stickers, cafe hopping, and hanging out with cats.

Let's be friends!

I'm always looking for new cafes with cozy atmospheres, so if you wanna explore a cafe together, lmk :)

Thanks for stopping by!
