Outside of design, running is one of the biggest influences in my life. It has strengthened my focus, time management, and commitment to staying active and healthy. As an accomplished marathon runner, I always look forward to the Boston Marathon—you can see my poster series commemorating the event and my achievements on the design page. Running has also connected me deeply with my community. I help support and maintain a local chapter of Front Runners, a global running organization that connects the LGBTQ+ community through movement, and I’m involved with several local clubs where I’ve also created branding and logos. These designs can be viewed on the design page for CRRC, CDC, Maine Harriers, and OTTC.

I also enjoy hiking and have explored many parts of the White Mountains and Maine mountains. Whether running or hiking, movement plays a huge role in my creativity, helping bring energy, clarity, and flow to my design and illustration work.
