Last Project
“Confidence Through Emotional Mastery” is a project I created for Amy Colombo, a Nurse Coach, to promote her group coaching program for nurse coaches. I designed a registration page as an addition to her existing website and produced a 7-minute introductory video that combined Amy’s personal story, client testimonials, and program details. The video served as both a promotional tool and a program overview, while the registration page streamlined the signup process.

A Little About Me
I’m a designer who thrives on collaboration and fresh ideas. When I’m not designing, you’ll find me exploring thrift stores for unique finds, geeking out over WWE’s storytelling, or diving into the Enneagram to better understand people and their motivations.
