Hey Hey! I am from the beautiful natural state. I love to hangout with friends and create as many memories as I can! I was not originally planning on majoring in graphic design but man am I sure glad I did!! I have learned so much about the design world and about myself as a designer.
My degree project focus is: “How might a digital tool help young couples learn and benefit from adoption?”
I chose this topic because it holds a special place in my heart. I am adopted and I realized that I have yet to do a project highlighting this impactful moment in my life. I decided this was a great opportunity to highlight and be an advocate for the importance of the adoption process. I wanted to highlight that people do not know a lot about adoption and it can be an overwhelming process. I want to create these digital tools to help young adults feel comfortable asking hard questions and having a support system in place so that they feel they can receive the best information about such a life changing decision.

How do you see your project developing in the future?
I hope to have this conversation be a conversation starter for people to bring awareness to adoption.
Tell us about your favorite memory or favorite project from art school.
I think my favorite memory is being in class with everyone, all of the classes. It doesn’t particularly come to mind in one class, but just us as a family is my favorite part.
What have you learned in the past four years that would you pass on to future designers?
I think make the best of every moment that you have in this classroom. We unfortunately did not get to have our senior year in the classroom. But once everything goes back to normal, I hope you’ll take every moment with stride.
