Visual Designer + Communication Educator

In order to produce work that prompts the viewer to undergo a process of personal exploration resulting in a heightened sensory experience, it is necessary to challenge rules and social norms about how we interact with and define art.

Echoing an almost childlike curiosity, my work attempts to balance the wonder of the experience and the patterns, rhythms, and familiarity of the materials. My intent is to create interactive experiences that cultivate dialogue between the viewer and the artwork. By using intense colors and everyday manufactured materials, I hope to create bright spots that are playful and approachable in contrast to the deeply rooted questions about authority and rules that form the foundation of my creative process.

When I’m not creating, I’m teaching. I teach future leaders as a lecturer in the Data Analytics and Information Systems Department at the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business at Utah State University. I help students grow into professionals by supporting them as they learn–upskilling them, empowering them, and ensuring they thrive. My research interests lie in emerging and established technology and how well-crafted visual design and communication enhance user experience and retention. I am a co-advisor to the Women in Business Association and the Huntsman Scholar Academic Director.
