Designing holistic product, brand, content, and the special teams required.
Portfolio Site v3.0 - Spring 2025
I am devoted to creativity and optimism.
As a kid with a drummer dad and a writer mother, I’ve endured grueling rehearsals and hard critique. Through design, I’m able to express myself and honor my teachers. Holding a materialized design in hand is the reward.
Trained in graphic design at a university where art, design, and business are taught as one, I believe that the best companies invest in creative professionals, their discipline, and their ideas.

As a designer, I’m expected to develop strong concepts before execution. However, I also believe in curiosity and the breakthroughs that come. You have to trust the process. I improvise, prototype to learn, and collaborate with teams of all kinds.
Designing within the creative communities of San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York, I’ve found myself at the intersection of technology, entertainment, and creative tools. This domain and its discerning crowd has required that I sweat the details and celebrate the craft. I’ve burned the midnight oil in person with partners in Taiwan, India, Europe, and the UK – a global creative network.
As a player/coach, I am in design tools daily by example, and dedicated to mentoring creative professionals early in their careers. I take great joy in seeing their success, and I use the products they’ve made. I truly love this job.
The following case studies showcase the work of teams who share a bond as creative professionals – my friends for life. Thanks for your review. Let’s connect to make something great together.
