WHO AM I?
Let's start with the basics. I was born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina. My older brother, Patrick, is a Navy pilot, my mother is an elementary school principal, and my father does something boring in HR. Where does that leave me? From 6th grade until graduating high school, I attended Northwest School of the Arts, studying musical theatre. My whole life has been dedicated to art: from singing in the preschool Christmas pageant, reading art history books in elementary school, and performing onstage with my friends, to my love of bar karaoke.

HOW DID WE GET HERE?
Since I was entirely too young to care about these things, I wondering why and how companies crafted their identity. I knew that little details such as font or color scheme were responsible for making a product seem appealing to a certain audience. Since then, I've been working hard to understand and speak the language of branding. Art direction fascinates me, specifically helping brands communicate through the creation of a strong visual identity.

WHAT'S NEXT FOR ME?
Well, after graduating with distinction from UNC-Chapel Hill, I am proud to announce I am moving back home with my parents! As of right now, I have some pretty fun stuff in the works that I cannot wait to share with you soon! Until then, you can find me applying for jobs, watching the Real Housewives, and giving my all at karaoke night!
