FEATURED REDESIGN / EDITORIAL
A redesign of my 2018–2019 music magazine: bold editorial typography, warm neutrals, rounded artwork, and a clearer path from the homepage to the archive.

WEB REDESIGN / GAMING EDITORIAL
A dark editorial redesign of my original gaming archive, with oversized typography, responsive story layouts, searchable sections, and readable article pages.
FRONT-END / PRACTICE PROJECT
A streaming interface clone exploring a component-based front end with React, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS.
Beats shows an actual screenshot. Super Review shows a live preview of the redesigned site. Hulu uses an illustrative cover.
02 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE PIXELSCreative by nature.
Creative by nature.
Practical by design.
I like making things that look good, work well, and make someone’s day a little easier.
I bring together graphic design studies, front-end development, and years in customer service. Working with people taught me to listen, solve problems, and keep the person using the product in mind.
That same curiosity follows me away from the screen: making art, painting miniatures, discovering music, and exploring a good hiking trail.
