After my laptop shuts, I get into my comfy clothes and my guilty pleasure is reality TV— during the summer I’m in bed at 9pm every night for the next episode of Love Island! I also love to read a good mystery novel —Freida McFadden is my favorite!

If I weren’t a designer, I’d probably be teaching design to kids—does that count as not being a designer? Growing up, I was a summer camp counselor, and my favorite part was leading arts and crafts. Kids have the most creative imaginations, and I always find their energy inspiring.

I’m all about people watching—whether I’m grabbing a drink with friends, shopping at the mall, or just wandering around. It’s the little things, vibes, and different styles I see that always make me feel the most creative.

My go-to comfort food is 1000% ice cream. I bought myself an ice cream maker so I can experiment with my own flavors—currently obsessed with a lemon-blueberry sorbet!

I started volunteering at the local dog shelter when I moved to Columbus—at first I was just taking dogs out for weekend sleepovers, but eventually I completed the training to become an active volunteer. Now I go a few times a week to walk the dogs. Even on cold or rainy days, it’s something that always makes me feel happier. Nothing is more rewarding then when they get adopted!
