Past Experience
It all started with a locker full of illustrated t-shirts and a notebook full of ideas. Selling shirts in high school taught me what it felt like to turn creativity into something real and I never stopped chasing that.
Before I finished college, I was lucky enough to collaborate with brands like the Oklahoma City Thunder and Zumiez, helping bring big ideas to life through merch, branding, and web design.
Education
I earned my Bachelor’s in Digital Arts & Design at Full Sail University, balancing freelance gigs with a full course load. Working with companies like Mattress King and Hal Smith Restaurants taught me just as much as my classes, especially about real-world marketing, branding, and client relationships.
Career Experience
Since then, I’ve been fortunate to work with some dream clients designing for Walt Disney World Resort, SeaWorld, and Arnold Palmer Golf Management during my freelance years.
At startups like Bison and global brands like Electronic Arts, I learned to own UX features from the very first sketch to final delivery, solving big problems with creativity (and a lot of cereal).
Today, I work as a UI/UX Specialist with the State of Oklahoma, where I help build a design system that makes it easier for our teams to deliver better digital services to thousands of people.
Bringing ideas into the real world still feels as exciting to me now as it did back when I was sketching logos in the back of math class.
