Design Major

Computer Science Minor

I was born and raised in Encinitas, a small beach town, in San Diego, California. When I moved to San Francisco — a city rich with art, architecture, culture and a strong social justice presence — I was afforded a new perspective that allowed me to explore my strengths as a designer and as an activist. I have an affinity for packaging and web design as well as illustration and photography. As a computer science minor, I love exploring the realm between web and graphic design.

I Am Who I Am

I have written and illustrated a children’s book that explores acceptance of non-conforming gender roles. My goal in creating this book is to make a space for young children to absorb lessons about the joy and the freedom of non-conformity and self-acceptance regardless of peer critique. My hope is that this book might spark inspiration and conversation about the importance of self-love and about the bravery it sometimes takes for children – and for all of us – to dare to live outside the dictates of society and instead forge a path that fosters personal fulfillment.
