I think of design as a lens. I use it to explore and communicate about the world around me. Whether that’s learning about dolphin conservation or understanding cybersecurity, my career has taught me so much about so many different fields and specialities.

I enjoy helping experts better engage with their audiences, craft identities, and represent their organizations with professionalism and ingenuity. I love design systems, efficiency, and the story and personality behind successful brands.

I stay active with the community and am passionate about mentoring young designers and collaborating and connecting with other creatives. I’ve made a lot of cool things, worked with some great folks, and I get to play with colors all day which makes my inner child very happy.
