FOREVER CURIOUS, ALWAYS LEARNING

MY STORY

I grew up in a pretty creative environment my entire life. Being the daughter of an architect, I was always encouraged to make drawings, paintings, and any sort of arts and crafts. I didn’t fully understand it then, but it shaped the way I see the world today. I find myself paying attention to details, structure, and the thought behind things.

At the same time, I was completely obsessed with music and fashion. Making playlists, overthinking outfits, collecting visuals I liked—it was all about expression and figuring out what felt like me. Those were the things that felt natural and exciting.

Looking back, it makes sense that those two sides came together. Design felt like the place where structure and self-expression could exist in the same space. Going to design school wasn’t some big, dramatic decision—it just felt right, like following something that had always been there.

EDUCATION

As I started looking into schools, I realized I wanted a program that wasn’t just about making things look good, but about understanding why they work and how design connects with people. That’s what drew me to the Graphic Design for Marketing program at the Wilson School of Design.

I learned how to think beyond just “what looks good” and start asking why something works. Every project pushed me to consider audience, context, messaging, and how all of those pieces come together to shape an experience. It taught me how to build ideas from the ground up—concept first, then execution.

At the same time, it helped me refine my own voice. I was able to explore the things I’ve always been drawn to—music, fashion, culture—and translate them into design in a more thoughtful and purposeful way. I became more confident in my instincts, but also more critical in how I approach my work.
