GRAPHIC DESIGN for small businesses, nonprofits. community organizations, and creatives.

A decorative barbed wire graphic in shades of red and brown, forming a continuous horizontal line.

Just because graphic design has “always been done that way”
doesn’t mean it actually works.

Who I Design For

A decorative border featuring a pattern resembling barbed wire, presented in a dark color scheme.

I prioritize working with nonprofit and community organizations whose missions include empowering, supporting, and uplifting oppressed and minoritized communities (such as the Black, Immigrant, Indigenous, Latine, Queer, and Trans* communities).

I also work with small businesses, venues, artists, and musicians. Basically, if the work you do creates meaningful change in the lives of other people, we’re gonna get along just fine!
