Who I am.
I’m a designer with a storyteller’s heart and a builder’s hands. My creative journey started working on craftsman projects with my dad, eventually becoming a blacksmith. That love for building evolved into a passion for UX/UI and graphic design—driven by the desire to create work that’s not just seen, but felt.
Inspired by the balance of Utah’s mountains, I design with clarity and purpose. I value integrity, curiosity, and craftsmanship. Whether it’s a brand identity or a user experience, my goal is always the same: to create something meaningful that makes people feel like it was made for them.
One of my proudest moments? Designing a tifo for Real Salt Lake—a massive visual story that brought an entire stadium together. It reminded me why I love this work: design has the power to connect us before a word is even spoken.
Outside of design, you’ll find me with my family, immersed in fantasy books or D&D, watching Real Salt Lake, or cheering on the Utah Mammoth. My faith keeps me grounded. My creativity keeps me going.
How I Think.
I believe design is more than aesthetics—it’s a conversation, a feeling, a story waiting to be told without saying a word. At its core, design should serve a purpose: guiding people, solving problems, and creating moments of clarity. I aim to build experiences that not only function beautifully but feel intuitively right.
My process is rooted in clarity, accessibility, and empathy. I design with users—not just for them—so every element has intention. From the first sketch to the final screen, I ask: Does this help someone feel more connected? Does it tell the right story?
To me, the best design feels effortless. It’s the flow of a checkout experience that just makes sense. It’s the logo that sparks emotion before you even read the name. It’s the harmony between visual storytelling and usability that makes people feel understood. That’s the kind of work I strive to create—functional, emotional, and unmistakably human.
Whether I’m building out wireframes, crafting a visual identity, or refining a design system, my goal stays the same: to elevate the experience at every touchpoint and leave a meaningful impression that lasts.

How I Got Here.
From sketching logos in notebooks to designing tifos that wave in MLS stadiums, my creative path has been anything but linear—and that’s exactly what shaped me. I started with hands-on work: building with my dad, forging metal as a blacksmith, freelancing as a graphic designer, and finding ways to turn imagination into something real.
Over time, I realized I didn’t just want to make things that looked good—I wanted to make things that worked beautifully, too. That led me to pursue formal training through a UX/UI bootcamp, where I sharpened my skills in user research, wireframing, prototyping, accessibility, and user-centered design.
This journey has taught me how to merge strategy with creativity and empathy with structure. It’s shown me the value of listening, collaborating, and iterating with purpose. Now, I’m ready to bring that creative fire, strategic mindset, and human-first approach to a full-time design role—somewhere I can grow, contribute, and help build meaningful experiences that make a difference.
