an artist first, always

Creative expression has been my love language for as long as I can remember. My parents always encouraged the arts as a means of communication and connection. That foundation shaped the way I approach the world, and the way I design. The core of everything I do is about communication and connection on a deep, relatable, and honest level.

​

I attended college at Alfred University, where holistic art practices rooted in innovation and Bauhaus principles taught me to see art though a solution-based lens. There, I learned to think in systems, make art that is useful, and push the boundaries of every medium to achieve my goals as an artist.

​

Professionally, I’ve worked across both in-house and agency creative teams, as a designer and creative leader, leading projects and collaborating closely to build brands and design systems that feel thoughtful and alive. From small-batch candle companies to industry-leading liquor brands to automotive and tech, my approach remains the same: create genuine solutions for genuine business goals and connect the right people to the right products.

​

When I’m not designing, you’ll find me upside down at the dance studio, in a crowded concert, on a trail, or renovating my house. I’m also involved in performance art, which keeps me grounded in movement, vulnerability, and the human side of creativity. Staying creatively engaged beyond the screen keeps my perspective sharp.

​

Growth is central to who I am. I’m driven but reflective, always open to feedback and new ways of thinking, because getting better in both craft and character is always my real goal.
