About Me.

I am driven by a deep passion for uncovering opportunities that spark growth, inspiration, and meaningful progress—approaching every challenge through a creative and strategic lens. I am especially energized when design becomes a catalyst for positive social impact. While some call this “design for good,” I prefer to think of it as purpose-driven design—work that not only looks compelling, but creates tangible value for communities and the world around us.

My career spans in-house leadership roles for nationally recognized brands, agency-side experience as a Design Lead, and entrepreneurship through my own creative business. This diverse background has shaped me into a versatile, strategic thinker who understands how to balance brand integrity, business objectives, and creative excellence.

Beyond my professional work, I have been deeply committed to advancing the design community. I served on the Board of Directors for AIGA Connecticut as Director of Membership & Engagement (2014–2016) and Chapter President (2016–2018), and contributed nationally as a Committee Member for AIGA’s In-House Initiative Steering Committee—helping champion the value and growth of in-house creative teams across the country.

Outside of work, I find inspiration in travel, photography, and immersing myself in different cultures. I am endlessly curious—drawn to questions of “why” and “how”—and committed to continuous learning in pursuit of a deeper understanding of the human experience.
