Every day I go to work at Worrell grateful to know that we're working on design projects that will truly make a positive impact on people's live.

In my free time I enjoy taking on small design projects, particularly working with small business start-ups, helping new entrepreneurs brand and market their ideas.
I also enjoy partnering as a designer engaged with social causes, community development projects, and dabbling in watercolor illustration (think: Christmas cards).
