Creativity has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Long before I led campaigns or built brand systems, I was hunting for vintage signs, studying the quirks of hand lettering, and getting paint and ink on my hands. That love of authentic craft still drives how I approach design today. I believe the strongest brands aren't the most sterile or hyper-polished; they’re the ones where you can feel the distinct point of view, the care, and the human hands behind the work.

I earned my BFA in Visual Communication Design from the Hartford Art School and have spent the past two decades working at the intersection of concept, craft, and strategy. That work spans retail packaging, surface design, digital marketplaces, and brand identities, with a focus largely on helping mission-driven brands and independent businesses find their visual voice and connect with their audience. My projects have ranged from telling the stories of maker communities to directing large-scale print production and multi-channel campaigns.

Having also created and sold my own work at local markets, I stay deeply grounded in the practical side of design: what catches someone’s eye, what sparks curiosity, and what it actually takes to earn a customer’s trust.

Today, I’m looking to bring that blend of big-picture thinking and hands-on craft to a collaborative creative team, helping to build vibrant brands designed to grow without losing the personality and tactile details that make them memorable.
