Go with the flow.
In a sort of “happy accident,” I was misplaced in a journalism class in middle school and immediately fell in love with the world of publications. I started off as a writer up until college and had a knack for editing and design. The very first designer I looked up to was Chip Kidd (I definitely do judge a book by its cover!).
My journalism start has overlapped in so many ways in my current design career. From reviewing copy and working closely with copywriters, to collaborating with photographers on how to capture the perfect shot needed for multiple marketing assets.
I love working in team environments and also feel comfortable in leading roles. I truly believe in genuine, not forced, camaraderie starts with kindness and respect. And also, a little silliness never hurt anyone.
