more about me!

Hey, I’m Sydney! I’m a graphic designer with a strong focus on creating thoughtful, visually engaging designs that connect people and ideas. Over the past few years, I’ve worked across branding, digital, print, and web design, helping bring clarity and personality to businesses and projects of all sizes.

My design journey started long before I knew what “graphic design” was. I was always the kid doodling in class and experimenting with arts and crafts as a kid. I’ve always been drawn to finding creative solutions. Today, that same curiosity drives me to approach every project with fresh ideas, attention to detail, and a balance of strategy and creativity.

I’m especially passionate about design that feels both functional and inspiring. This ranges from building a user-friendly website, crafting a bold visual identity, to designing clean, modern print pieces.

When I’m not designing, you’ll usually find me hanging with friends at breweries, watching a show with a roommate, or reading a good book!

I’m excited to continue growing as a designer and contributing my skills to a collaborative, forward-thinking team.
