I’m an independent designer living in Texas specializing in designing identities and type design. My work focuses on the unique power of design to tell stories and add to the worlds of visual media. I hold an MFA from the School of Visual Arts, New York City, where my thesis work focused on designing speculative physical products for Mars-bound astronauts. In my career, I have had the pleasure of creating identities in entertainment, designing custom typography, and creating speculative design work for TV. I am currently teaching students as an educator of graphic design at Texas A&M University's College of Performance, Visualization, & Fine Arts.

My most prestigious professional work has come as a long-time freelance collaborator on Emily Oberman’s team at Pentagram. While there, I have designed identities for films, television, video games, and the studios that create them. Through this work I found a love of creating in-universe type design and identities with a wink to their fans.

In February 2023, I launched an independent type foundry called ꙮMultiocular Type. I use the foundry as a space of experimentation in the mediums of type design, creative coding, and non-traditional type specimens.

In June 2024, I helped launch a second independent type foundry, Upper Management, in partnership with creative firm Always Creative, as the lead type designer. This officecore inspired type foundry blends the worlds of type design and physical goods with the attitude of your worst boss.
