Grew up in a small town and ended up in Philadelphia at Temple for Division One Cross Country and Track. Going from Boonville (pop. 1,000) to a city of 1.5 million was a huge change that I feel has made me a more well rounded person. Being part of a collegiate team has instilled in me a strong sense of teamwork and leadership. While my educational journey could have gone in any number of directions, I don't think I would change a thing.

As a designer I am greatly inspired by a lot of things. I remember my interest for design started when I saved up for my first phone. The first phone I bought was an iPhone 5c Blue and I just remember how the packing experience stuck with me. It was so seamless and so cool and made me feel rewarded for saving up for that phone.

Currently I am obsessed with awwwards for web inspiration and for a lot of fresh designs I like the app/website SAVEE.
