  • About

    I am a multidisciplinary creative thinker. I partner with Ad agencies and design firms to build wide-ranging campaigns, adaptive brand systems, and innovative digital products.

    I'm fascinated by art, design, science, and technology and am especially interested in the blurred boundaries between these disciplines. My personal projects explore humor through digital media. They have been featured on The New York Times, The Huffington Post, Gizmodo, Laughing Squid, Pix11, Curbed, and Brokelyn.

    I earned a Master’s Degree in Communications Design from Pratt Institute with a focus on digital design, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Studio Art from Connecticut College with a focus on painting and printmaking.

    Above all, I enjoy making things.
