Summary
In Fall 2025, I had the great opportunity to co-op at Messer Construction, headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. I joined Messer's Pursuit Marketing team as a Graphic Designer and in my role I was engaged in collaborating on Marketing proposals for Messer's many new construction projects. I also collaborated with various teams across Messer's 12 regions such as: Construction Safety, Virtual Design Construction, Operations, Accounting, Business Development, and many more. Messer's wide network of highly talented individuals made my experience at Messer so unique and I am grateful that I got to be a part of such an amazing team.

Key Takeaways
I approach networking as a way to build meaningful, lasting connections, not just professional contacts. I believe the strongest collaborations are built on genuine relationships, and I strive to create bonds that people remember. This mindset has helped me grow as a designer and as a teammate.
My design philosophy is rooted in precision. I believe attention to detail isn’t just a skill, it’s a mindset. Whether crafting interfaces or shaping experiences, I critically apply this principle to ensure every element serves a purpose.
Design isn’t just about making things look good, it’s about making them work beautifully. I believe aesthetics should serve function, not distract from it. Every choice I make in my design process is intentional, driven by clarity, usability, and impact. Purposeful creation is what transforms good design into great experiences.
