Bio

I am a graphic designer for Meow Wolf currently residing with my love, my cat, and my treasures in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I have a love for world-building and how design and art can help fantastical stories feel real. My other passions include cartoons, thai food, and reading obscure non-fiction.

Omega Mart

Graphic Designer

I contributed in much of the narrative materials that tell the story of the exhibition characters. From secret handwritten letters, glow-in-the-dark office files, and whimsical digital interfaces; my team and I help shape the experience of unraveling mysteries that give context to the fantastical art pervading throughout the exhibition.
