Hi, I'm Haley.

I’m a creative at heart. I aim to create every day, whether it's through design and lettering, or experimenting with makeup, curating a cute outfit, rearranging my houseplants, or taking up a new craft. 

I graduated from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo in 2016, majoring in Graphic Communication and concentrating in Design Reproduction Technology (how to take a conceptual design and turn it into a finished product). I have gained a well-rounded understanding of various print processes as well as hands-on experience completing print and digital media projects from start to finish. Yes, I’ve worked on a printing press! 

My work experience has prepared me to take on any type of task whether its creating animations for social, laying out a 700+ product catalog, or making edits to the HTML/CSS of a website. I push myself to learn new skills any chance I get. 

When I'm not at my desk, I can be found reading a fantasy novel, playing board games, learning to DJ, sending a voice note to my bestie, or shooting pool at the local watering hole.
