Hi, I’m Heide—a Graphic Design major and Communications minor at Appalachian State University. My passion for creativity began at a young age through oil painting and has since evolved into a deep interest in branding and visual identity. I’m drawn to the way design can tell a story and shape how people feel and connect with a brand, and I love creating work that resonates through thoughtful visuals and strategic messaging. Outside of design, you can find me going for long walks, trying new restaurants, or planning my next trip. Looking ahead, I hope to pursue a master’s degree in marketing and explore opportunities in food branding. I can’t wait to get to know you.
