About me

I grew up wanting to visually improve the world around me. Whether it was rearranging the candy section at the grocery checkout line or painting my bedroom walls with bold colors and murals, I was always challenging my environment to be better. Chasing after beauty was an inner need and never work, but I managed to turn it into a career.

Now I’m an art director, designer, and brand developer. And although beauty is important, there is so much more behind each design that I learned to identify and understand. Throughout my work, I ground my creative process on strategic insight. My goal is also my passion: to understand people, how they think, and their motivations in life. And to create for those people.

When I’m not making stuff, I learn about real life from traveling the world with my partner-in-crime, Brett. I also love to sketch, paint, bake, learn, and spend time with the human babies (boy/girl twins) and the furry babies (dog and cat).
