The one behind the design.

Great design can never happen without great designers.

“So many things inspire me like drag, fashion runways, pop culture, and even the small things—like insects.”

— Leo Velour

I am a 21 year old graphic designer based in McMinnville, Oregon. Specializing in editorial design and packaging design, I am using all my skills to create memorable concepts.

 

I am still a young designer, but there is so much stuff I have already accomplished. As a young creative I have obtained an Associates Degree in Graphic Design from Chemeketa Community College after my time studying in Oregon’s Capital. Known as the “queen of ambition” by some, I am usually known for always going all out with everything that I put my mind to.

I have displayed visual art twice in Linfield University’s Lou Gallery and have won an award while displaying work in Chemeketa Community College’s annual Spring Gallery show. During the summer of 2019, I was selected to participate in an internship with Chemeketa Community College’s book press—Chemeketa Press—and edited various text books throughout the summer. My fashion construction has been also shown at The Art Institute of Portland’s Keep Portland Creative show, garnering my first fashion award.

When it comes to my personal life, I enjoy collecting vinyl and going to concerts. I have enjoyed running a vinyl collection instagram and have caught the attention of artists such as Aly & Aj who actually used my photography in promotion for their vinyl sales. Sonikku, London based DJ, has also been attracted—even sending me a personally signed limited test pressing, an edition out of only ten in the world.
