Graphic design, illustration,
and lettering in Chicago
HELLO!
I took a graphic design class in high school because it fulfilled a business credit, and I had run out of other good art classes to take. Turned out it was actually great. Who would've thought? Today, I’m a multi-disciplinary designer living in Chicago. I’m driven by all things visual, and especially, all things typographic.
