I turn strategy into something you can see.

I'm a senior designer and creative project manager with a background spanning editorial, brand identity, and strategic communications. I've designed for Fortune 500 clients, nonprofits, and startups with one goal: do great work.

My strength is in systems thinking. Whether it's a white paper series, a brand playbook, or a social media presence, I build the scaffolding that lets design scale without losing its edge.
