Call her “Max”. Everyone does! 

From NCAA recruit to science and biology nerd to cross-continental traveler, Max has taken a winding road to find her place in illustration and is excited to say that it is now her forever home. Nothing excites her more than diving head-first into a rich visual narrative or putting her mind toward a juicy design challenge. Peers and friends would describe her as kind, funny, helpful, and a great collaborator. Outside of her life in the arts, you can always find her learning something new or having a laugh with a friend or two. 

Give her a buzz! She would love to work with you.
