If you’re looking for a thoughtful, experienced, hard-working designer (and a fun, chill co-worker), I’d love to hear from you.



I’ve worked with companies like IDEO, Dropbox, Figma, and Patagonia, as well as user researchers, cultural orgs, non-profits, and creative businesses.
I’m a proud design generalist with experience in print, digital, social, marketing, human-centered design, brand, product/UX, research, and consulting.  I contribute as a thought-partner to interdisciplinary teams. Often I’m brought in as a graphic designer, but I always bring more to the table.I’m excited about working with purpose-driven and people-centric organizations. I’m drawn to work for the public good. I’m AI-curious, especially when it comes to safety.
