About Me.

I received my bachelor’s from Arizona State University in Interdisciplinary Studies, with concentrations in Media Analysis and Visual Communication Design.

 

Destiny must have had a plan for me as much of my life experiences seemed to always put me in the intersection of art and people. It all began when I stumbled upon my grandfather's collection of space memorabilia, sparking a deep fascination within me. For much of my life, I had dreamed of being an astronaut, but when I failed out of my Biology major in college (no one is perfect), I was left defeated. 

Even at a very young age, I had a deep sense of empathy for the underdogs of society - for which I always felt was a reflection of me. When I had felt the failure of my dream, I reverted to the only other thing that I thought I could do. I eventually landed a graphic design job that allowed me to explore accessible design and delve into user experience methodologies. It was in this role that I fell head over heels in love with my craft and found a passion that rivaled my defeated dream: people.

 

The ability to create designs that were not only visually appealing but also user-friendly and inclusive became my driving force. I found myself right where I belonged, and I simply couldn't imagine being anywhere else.

We've been working with Dakota for two years now and couldn't be more pleased with her work. Dakota's attention to detail, communication, and ability to adapt to our brand style is unmatched. Her quality of work speaks for itself and she continues to go above and beyond expectations. We couldn't ask for a better designer to help elevate our brand.
