What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute illustration, graphic design, social media, and event-planning skills in a collaborative role that supports community experiences and creative learning spaces.

I've created social media posts, posters, flyers, stickers, shirt graphics, and fan graphics for Lake Washington Tech's 2024 Pride celebration.

In Lake Washington Tech's Office of Student Life, I worked with a team to plan and execute promotional materials for student events, coordinate with event teams, and facilitate discussions around campus posting guidelines.

As an Art Studio Assistant, I managed a team, supervised open studio hours, and coordinated with staff and faculty to improve the student experience. I also helped create a new learning and studio space by cleaning, organizing, and building the room.

My practice spans traditional and digital arts, supported by illustration and graphic design education, gallery showings at Schack Art Gallery and Kirkland Arts Center, and hands-on event and team experience.
