about me

hi, i'm isabel and i love telling stories

Born and raised in Venice, CA, I've made my way up the coast and am so happy to call the PNW home. I'm inspired by personal storytelling, multimedia journalism, short form documentary video, contour drawings, and bright colors. I love to think outside of the box and find new ways to approach both design and visual storytelling and explore avenues to merge the two. If this sounds interesting to you, reach out! I'd love to help you on your next project.
