I've always been drawn to the way words and visuals work together to tell a story. I actually started out as a writer before finding my way into design, and the two have been borrowing from each other ever since. Today, I love finding the story at the heart of a brand and figuring out how to bring it to life, whether that means writing a manifesto, building a visual identity, or designing the digital experience that ties it all together.

I got my start on a tiny design team at one of D.C.'s top ad agencies. Since then, I've mostly worked with small studios, which means I've worn a lot of hats—art director, UX designer, mural designer, brand guide builder, imposter-syndrome illustrator, tagline generator, and the occasional "How did I end up doing this?" person. It's taught me to move between big-picture thinking and the details that make everything work.

These days, my work spans brand identity, art direction, and digital design, from shaping a brand's story and visual world to bringing it to life across websites, campaigns, and all the little touchpoints in between.

When I'm not working, you can find me at a book swap party or spoiling my Havanese. I'm obsessed with type texture, can't resist a dog-friendly patio, and have an embarrassing number of restaurants saved in Maps (in many cities, everywhere).

Fun fact: A bookworm at heart, I love designing and writing books for my family and friends. My favorite is 50 States, 50 Baits — a Christmas gift I made for my other half, Keiper, whose goal is to catch a fish in every state.
