STORY
I am a freelance multidisciplinary designer with unicorn traits. Story-crafting is a huge part of my toolkit in creating engaging experiences. It’s achieved through intuition and editing for clarity.
I design to address current needs while being mindful of a future we wish to live — not in a Black Mirror. I create with a holistic vision, always working to fit pieces together.
HATS & TOOLS:
However you feel about a jack of all trades, my long freelance experience has led me to be flexible in the hats I wear.
But one thing is always certain: my clients use me to help craft stories for their audiences.
Product Design
Product Design is my long-term focus when being on-staff with the right company. As a freelancer, this role is usually done for projects with longer timelines.
Visual Design
Visual Design is my go-to foundation as a freelancer. The projects I’m on can often include animation and motion design.

My Values:
Technology shouldn’t distract or fragment our lives and conversations. I design to engage people for #TimeWellSpent through well-being and tech ethics.
My Values influence everything. They help me see differently and contribute something meaningful to every project. View My Values.
My Focus:
I work with a visual and conceptual lens, and helping people see a bigger picture is my passion. People engage ideas with clear stories, and so much of my work is shaping and editing complex pieces.
My History:
I’ve worked on both coasts of the US and currently in Europe. I’ve been a part of small and large teams working with a wide range of local and large international brands. As a freelancer I worked at Frog Design and in-house at Philips.
A thirst for challenge led me from Charlotte to Portland to Amsterdam, also fueling my love for bicycles, good coffee and photography.
