How do I think?

1
Insight
Understanding people comes first - how they think, decide, and behave. Informed by studies in psychology, I begin with research and observation, then translate those insights into a clear direction.​

Story
Story is where meaning takes shape. Guided by art history and my inherent creativity, I think carefully about the strategy behind visuals, language, and structure.

Systems
Great ideas only matter if they can exist in the real world! I think in systems - how concepts effectively scale and show up consistently across platforms.

My Work
A few projects that reflect how I work, create, and collaborate:
A Bit About Me
I'm a fourth-year at the University of Virginia double majoring in psychology and art history. Beyond the basics, I have a twin brother who's my complete opposite and two labradoodles, and I create abstract collages whenever I have free time. I love mixing whatever's around - stamps, gum wrappers, and even receipts have made their way into some of my favorite pieces.
Some quick facts:
-
Studied abroad in Milan, where cappuccinos and museums became my routine
-
Grew up in a Taco Tuesday household and am always on the hunt for the best tacos (Taqueria del Sol is the current winner)
-
Unexpectedly into the stock market - The Investing for Beginners Podcast is a current favorite
-
Billy Joel is always on rotation - "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" is my comfort song
