Aw, shucks.

about me:

I pride myself on being a thoughtful, well-rounded communicator who balances creativity and strategic thinking to build beautiful things that solve problems and make people smile.

I’m a maker and always have been—whether with pixels, pencil, paper, ink, or fabric. As a designer, I’m lucky to spend my days creating inspiring brands, quirky illustrations, and playful patterns & products. I’m passionate about crafting meaningful work, collaborating with curious people, and being fearlessly authentic.

More things that make my eyes light up: flea markets, folk tales, social justice work, learning new things, secondhand bookshops, sweets, mid-century modern style, mac & cheese, color (any of them, all of them), sewing, telling stories, and The Twilight Zone.
