Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Creative Journey: While I’ve always participated in multiple forms of art, from dance, to music, to fine arts, I ultimately chose to study design because of its ability to connect people through highly intentional thinking. Art will always be a personal outlet, but design is special because it pushes me to look beyond myself and create for others.


What Inspires Me: When designing, I’m inspired to push the boundary between art and design, while always considering the narrative of the person, community, or brand I’m designing for.
