About Me

I am a web development student at Ozarks Technical Community College with a strong passion for design, creativity, and visual storytelling. My long-term goal is to become a graphic designer who blends thoughtful visuals with accessible, user-friendly web design.

Much of my inspiration comes from real small businesses I’ve worked with—ranging from aquatic shops to fitness studios and equine services. I enjoy taking real-world needs and turning them into clean, structured, mobile-friendly digital experiences. I value calm, nature-inspired aesthetics, strong typography, and intuitive layouts.
