A versatile creative partner helping brands create memorable experiences rooted in authenticity.
I approach every project with curiosity: asking questions, listening closely, and uncovering the story of a brand and the people behind it. Those unique stories guide everything I create, helping me craft experiences that go beyond aesthetics and truly resonate with the people who use them.
Over the course of my career I've helped fledgling agencies grow their creative teams and improve workflows, mentored a number of interns, and had the pleasure of working across mediums with brands large and small to create meaningful, strategy-driven design solutions.
I live in Charleston, South Carolina with my partner, Chris, and our corgi, Mack. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me in nature—on a good hike, in my garden counting worms, or tucked under a tree with a book. I’m also a fiber artist and I enjoy spending time crafting quilts and garments.

By the way, say "hi" to your dog for me!
It isn’t just about what I create, but how I create it.

Form 🤝 Function
I aim to create work that not only looks good, but functions effortlessly and is accessible and inclusive, because thoughtful design should work for everyone.

Every detail matters 🔍
Never overlook the details because they’re what turn good design into experiences that stick with people long after they’ve interacted with them.

Branding
I collaborate with clients to craft a unique look and feel that complements their brand story—whether through a new visual identity and branding package or refining an existing mark to create something fresh yet familiar.
