15+ years of leading in house design teams, collaborating with creative agencies, and working indepedently with clients has cultivated a passion for work that builds authentic connection with its audience. Dividing my career between NYC and SF, I’m currently based out of a small Arizonan mountain town surrounded by enough beautiful nature and quiet tranquility to clearly hear that constant nagging inner self doubt that propels every creative.
