Hi.

some thoughts about me (by me)

After working as a graphic designer, visual designer, ux designer and art director (phew), I’ve come to learn while the role makes a big difference, ultimately, who I work with and believing in why we’re doing it means the most.

Although I’m not choosing to pursue every area of design I’ve worked in, all of those experiences inform the work that I do, and I am truly grateful for having explored as much as I did at the start of my career. I bring a broader, more empathetic perspective because I took on those roles and environments.

I love working on branding, print and digital layout design, and ideally, I get to work on those in the context of telling a thoughtful, compelling story. I think it’s the greatest pleasure as a designer to bring things to life.

Based in

San Francisco, but looking to move to Los Angeles.

Personal Stuff

Layers (literally)

I'm from San Diego so if the weather is under 65° I'm cold, and if it’s over 75° I’m hot. This will be a life-long burden.

sporty spice

I was a starting player on the NCAA Division 1 women’s water polo team at UC Davis. We finished 4th in the nation my senior year. That’s a brag. Fun fact: I played water polo for 11 years starting at the age of 11.

I’ve got interests

I love to puzzle, read, go for walks, watch movies, look at design, and spending vast amounts of time thinking about decorating a house that I hope to have someday. I’m also v into fashion as a personality trait, storytelling, equality, continuously finding new interests to make a career out of, and just generally dreaming about the future.
