art director
graphic designer
girl that can also do other stuff

With a combined ten years of in-house + agency experience, I am a senior creative that brings a keen understanding of branding, marketing, and people-driven design to my work. I’ve worked across many categories — from film/tv to tech, lifestyle, sports, fashion, hospitality, higher ed, beauty, wellness, and more.

I believe in the power of storytelling, the strength of a creative spirit, and the importance of developing our EQs to drive purpose, passion, and connection.

Focusing on in-person activations and experiential design, I am currently a Senior Graphic Designer at MKG where I dabble in art direction and lead graphic design development — from concept to final install — across multiple projects at once. Clients include Google, Netflix, New Balance, Spotify, BÉIS, Sephora, and more.

If you’re looking for an experienced creative, a brainstorming partner, or just wanna say hi hi, please reach out!
