hi — i'm a graphic design and music major at Iowa State University!
Design has been an opportunity for me to
explore ways to inclusively serve others in the visual realm.
I have worked extensively with typography, graphic layout, and have considerable experience with Adobe Creative Suite. I am grateful for the opportunity to pursue my passions in graphic design.
I have been involved in band over the course of my academic life. As an alto saxophonist, I enjoy improvising over jazz standards, marching, and performing classical repertoire.
At Iowa State University, I am involved in the ISUCF'V'MB, Symphonic Band, and the Men's Basketball Pep Band. I am in the saxophone studio and will graduate with a Music B.A.
