Herberger Institute
I am a multidisciplinary graphic designer and digital storyteller who thrives on emotional depth, expressive aesthetics, and unapologetic creativity. My work spans digital illustration, mixed media, motion graphics, and character-driven narratives, often exploring themes of identity, neurodivergence, and emotional resilience. I believe design is more than visual appeal—it’s a language of connection, a way to make people feel seen, understood, and inspired.
Through my online presence, including my YouTube channel MochaLeChat, I’ve cultivated a space for creative chaos, humor, and community. Whether I’m animating a speedpaint, crafting immersive roleplay experiences, or blending art with gaming commentary, I approach each project with bold storytelling and a deep commitment to authenticity. My creative process is fueled by curiosity, lived experience, and a desire to challenge conventional formats.
As a neurodivergent artist, I advocate for inclusive design and mental health awareness, using my platform to amplify voices and foster emotional dialogue. I’m especially drawn to projects that invite interaction, spark imagination, and build bridges between people and ideas. My goal is to create work that resonates—where every pixel has purpose and every story invites reflection.
I graduated from ACGC High School in Grove City, Minnesota, where I first developed a passion for creative expression and visual storytelling. I continued my education at Ridgewater College in Willmar, earning an Associate of Arts degree in Liberal Arts. This foundation provided me with a broad understanding of humanities, communication, and critical thinking, which I now apply to my work as a graphic design student at Arizona State University.
Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Graphic Design at ASU, I am expanding my skills in digital media, typography, branding, and motion graphics. My academic path reflects a commitment to both artistic growth and inclusive design. As a neurodivergent student, I actively engage with the Autism Society of Minnesota (AUSM), attending its annual conference to deepen my understanding of neurodiversity and advocate for accessibility in creative industries.
