From an early age, I’ve been captivated by the power of visual storytelling. Colors, shapes, and imagery have always moved me—and growing up in Baltimore, MD, surrounded by a rich and diverse art scene, only deepened that connection. Exposure to both traditional and experimental art forms inspired me to explore a wide range of creative disciplines, ultimately grounding me in design.

​

With a background in fine art, I developed a sharp eye for aesthetics, composition, and detail—skills that naturally translated into a career in design. Over the past 7 years, I’ve built expertise in brand development, visual identity, digital and print design, motion graphics, and multimedia production. Every chapter of my journey reflects my love for creativity, process, and purposeful communication.

​

Today, I’m channeling that passion into the launch of Quirkie Byrdie Studio (QBS)—my boutique design studio. QBS blends agency-level execution with a quirky, personal touch, offering branding, animation, web design, and more to help small businesses and creatives bring their stories to life.
