About

I’ve led creative teams, co-founded a modest design agency, and collaborated with brands, production companies, startups, studios, and clients, of all shapes and sizes.

Whether building brand identities, designing systems processes, researching for presentations, or developing campaigns, my approach is always the same; align concepts with business strategy, to connect thoughtful ideas to tangible outcomes.

I like helping ideas find their shape. I love clarity. I care about making work that’s both thoughtful and impactful to brands, people, and their communities.

Recently

Made a fun website for a friend’s band. Designed some packaging for incense sticks. Just wrapped work on a disclosed project with an incredible team as a Sr. Designer for Apple.

Currently

Consulting for a mental-health clinic to create systems that encourage inter-organization communication and establish new processes, that increase efficiency around time consuming practices. Also, I’m updating my onboarding materials for new clients.
