About Me



I am currently in my third year at Lehigh University, pursuing two Bachelor of Arts degrees in Psychology and Design. My passion for design stems from its inherent radicalism and psychological implications, how every choice is calculated to communicate a profound message to the artist’s audience. In this sense, my two fields of study work in tandem to give me a well-rounded background of understanding how people work while expressing myself and what I believe to be important.

My experience as a photographer ranges from personal work, to photojournalism, to leading coverage for formal events, to shooting for established organizations, to freelance client work. I've been able to turn a hobby I love into a profession, always eager to learn and do more; not only to build a portfolio, but to challenge my creativity and broaden my craft.

Political Overtones

Visual arts and design communicate in a language that transcends spoken and written words. I am often inspired by art that concisely communicates the artist's views on certain social issues, evoking an indescribable sense of discomfort and cognitive dissonance in their audience.


I find that my perspective, skills, and insurmountable need to create would go to waste if I didn't use them to comment on the complex issues that the American people face.


I believe in the undeniable authenticity and impact of the average civilian's voice, and as an infinitesimal fraction of the "We" in "We The People," it is my right and my duty as an American citizen to comment on the issues that those in power refuse to acknowledge.
