I’m a collaborative, versatile designer with over 10 years of experience working at agencies and in-house. Through strategic thinking and visual storytelling, I enjoy bringing new brands to life and evolving established brands.
I have unique experience working in large organizations and small start-ups, collaborating with a diverse spectrum of team members across product design, marketing, engineering, and operations. I am driven by the search for creative solutions to design problems across a variety of mediums including branding, packaging, web and mobile design.
