Before I was creating brands, campaigns, and digital experiences, I was creating with a paintbrush and pencil.

My background in traditional art has always influenced the way I approach design. Painting and drawing taught me to think about composition, color, balance, detail, and visual storytelling long before I began working professionally in graphic design.

This collection highlights some of my traditional artwork and offers a glimpse into the creative foundation behind my approach to design today.

My traditional art practice continues to influence my work as a designer - from developing color palettes and compositions to creating visual systems that communicate an idea with intention.
