Born in Ft. Lauderdale and raised in Atlanta, I am a city girl through and through who has found her home in Tampa. I began my design journey in high school, recognizing my passion and talent for art and creative pursuits since a young age and aspiring to turn it into a career. I took my first graphic design class as a senior and soon after declared a major in Media Ministry at Southeastern University in response to a clear call to Christian ministry. It was around this time that I also began working as a freelance graphic designer for my home church in Atlanta. 

As a freshman in college, I fell in love with the digital design process as well as communication and marketing, leading me to graduate in 2024 with my bachelor’s degree in Digital Media and Design. I have since begun an internship at my current home church in Tampa, FL working on a wide range of digital design projects and as well as being mentored in the administrative and discipleship sides of youth ministry.

 

When I’m not working, I love to thrift and dabble in one of the many creative hobbies I have yet to master, such as playing guitar, crocheting, and writing poetry. I love to learn and dive deeper into topics of interest. As an extrovert, my absolute favorite way to spend my time is with friends and family.

 

It has been an incredible journey watching God intersect my call to ministry and the creative talents and passions He has given me. To me, design is meant to represent the beauty, creativity, and orderly nature of God and bring Him glory, even through seemingly trivial communications or graphics. I feel incredibly blessed to do what I do and with gratitude I anticipate the doors God has yet to open for me and what He has called me to.
