This website is designed as an online counterpart to my printed portfolio,
which is a bound book modeled after a cookbook. Design and food are two of my biggest passions in life. It seemed only fitting to create a cookbook-style portfolio. One of my favorite areas of design is food packaging and branding.

I am obsessive over grammar, spelling, and punctuation. I take pride in quality work. I'm a slight perfectionist.

Other than design, I enjoy food, baking, music, magazines, coffee & tea, nutrition, painting, rowing, movie watching, food eating, contemporary art, Dali, Jesse Ledoux, Rene Magritte; the list continues.
