BIO

When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming an artist. As a freshman in high school, I already determined my future career. I began my graphic design journey at fourteen years old, as a self-taught designer; creating sports graphics using smartphone applications. I obtained an understanding of important design principles. Soon, I enrolled in a design class where I was first introduced to Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. This experience increased my knowledge and abilities; and offered much more creative freedom than the apps I designed with. I was excited to lead this new journey, which allowed me to express my creativity, along with my passion for sports. I truly loved the career I wanted to pursue. Throughout high school, I helped promote various sporting events around campus, and also designed the Powderpuff football logo for the annual homecoming game. During this time, I managed an Instagram account to showcase my personal work. I had the opportunity to present my designs to a few professional athletes, most notably Kendall Coyne Schofield, which was my most memorable and influential experience in my career. At Roosevelt University, I acquired more advanced skills and techniques within multiple Adobe programs. Along with my education, I also designed graphics for the women’s hockey team’s Instagram. In my final semester, I was granted an internship with the school, in which I gained understanding of brand identity and marketing. Currently, I am a graphic designer with the Chicago Sky.

​

For my projects, I often use Adobe Creative Cloud programs (Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Lightroom, After Effects, and Premiere Pro), where I have the opportunity to work on a variety of social, digital, and print projects. Along with graphic design, I also enjoy photography and designing custom sports jerseys.

Creating art inspired by an athlete or team’s story is incredibly special to me. Every aspect of sports shares a unique perspective and history. Storytelling in a design can elevate its overall impact, providing a deeper connection within our culture. I love to highlight amazing moments, and the joy of sports with eye-catching designs. I am ambitious about graphic design, and am glad to have pursued this career since I was young.
