With a B.F.A. in illustration and formal training as a designer through a series of internships, I’ve been fortunate to develop two distinct skill sets. I have the ability to layout and design a product, as well as conceptualize and draw custom illustrations for it. This also gives me a wider understanding of the work I’m involved in and the teams I work with.
Additionally, I’m one of those strange people who thinks of organization almost as a hobby. This lends itself well to deep research and planning for creative projects, and intense focus and efficiency for less creative work, like streamlining team workflow or helping implement new technology systems.
Ultimately, what I care about most is collaborating with kind people, making good work for good reasons, inspiring empathy and action, and being better today than I was the day before. I'm currently doing so as a graphic designer at The Hatcher Group.
When I'm not working, you can usually find me:
● Tending to my houseplants and garden
● Petting the neighborhood cats
● Admiring how beauty and funny birds are
● Visiting friends in the DC area (pre-quarantine times)
● Cooking, ordering or thinking about food
