i started my college career enrolled in pre-med coursework.

after a series of revelations (and realizing that I’m really bad at math) i headed off to art school. at VCUarts i studied to become a scientific/medical illustrator and metalsmith, taking plenty of typography, design, and color theory classes along the way.

post-graduation, i moved home and worked as a hostess for a restaurant and wedding venue. early on, i offered to redesign the menus, and ended up rebranding the facility, becoming the company’s graphic designer, and starting my career.

during my agency tenure, i’ve helped to create award-winning branding and creative campaigns for Fortune 100 clients, mentored creative teams, lead our company’s culture initiative, and was recently honored with a 40 Under 40 induction from the NJ Ad Club (thanks y’all!)

more literally speaking, i’m based in the greater nj / nyc area, and always looking for my next adventure.

my career has hinged upon creative community and will very hopefully continue to do so. i have grown most as a leader and creative director when surrounded by people who challenge, inspire, and joyfully collaborate with each other. championing the work we create together is what has kept pushing me further into life-long learning. this work has been an absurd amount of fun, and i feel very blessed.

if not obsessing over music, movies, or art you might find me practicing my (really bad) tennis serve, or carrying a miniature dachshund named Gus in a ludicrously capacious bag.
