Los Angeles, CA, United States

Graphic designer with 15 years of experience. I specialize in bold, clean visuals for events, nonprofits, and branding projects. I’m fun and easy to work with as I’m also an actor, improv performer, and occasional drag queen.

How does being queer inform your work?

Being queer shapes how I see the world—louder, weirder, more layered. It gives me a sensitivity to voice, tone, and identity that helps me design for people and stories that don’t always fit inside a clean little box. It’s in the humor, the risk-taking, the clarity, especially when I’m helping others communicate who they are and what they stand for.

What are your favorite pieces of queer visual culture?

Drag, for sure. Not just the performance, but the DIY design of it all; flyers, wigs, makeup, costumes, concepts. It’s camp and commentary and branding all in one. I love how drag queens treat identity like a graphic system: changeable, intentional, loud, and always saying something.

Which other queer people inspire you?

Bowen Yang for his sharp, smart comedy that never panders. And Trixie Mattel, because she’s built an entire empire with style, hustle, and total creative control. She’s proof that camp and ambition can absolutely coexist.
