"What makes us unique, what makes us amazing, and what makes us connect is our story."
- Dr. Emad Rahim
ABOUT
I’m a designer from the Washington, D.C. area. I’m fueled by an insatiable curiosity about the world around me and a love of nature, film, and music. I was introduced to design through my work at a nature-based pre-school when we had our logo redesigned. I got to be in on the process a little bit, and I must admit I was disappointed when we finished because I wanted to do more.
Everyone has a story to tell, and as a designer, I partner with you to help you tell your story through the creation of unique visuals. So, what's your story?

And I’m currently working with the directors to update the
website to create a responsive website with intuitive navigation.
