A little more about me.

I've been solving design problems for soulful startups, fast-paced corporations, and everything in between for over 10 years. Whether big or small, I want to help individuals and teams evolve their ideas, reach their goals through design, and in the process — create work that is unique and memorable.

I am a former industrial designer turned multidisciplinary visual designer. Today, I’m a full-time freelancer, living and working in Seattle, Washington. Thanks for checking out my work. If you’d like to geek out over past projects, great music, or Figma tricks, please reach out — I’d love to chat.
