About Me

In my experience as a designer I have dug deep into both brand strategy and digital product design. I sweat details, love systems, and fight for simplicity. Nothing makes me more excited than crafting beautiful things that people can enjoy.

I was born in New York City, the second of four, to a librarian father and a folk-musician mother. We moved to the Willamette Valley of Oregon, where I fell off bicycles and learned Latin. I studied art with a painting emphasis at Covenant College in Chattanooga, TN. Afterwards, I began my design journey in Portland, OR, before moving to NYC where I lived and worked for 5 years. Now I live in Waco, TX.

I am currently a designer at a live event ticketing and fan experience startup called Jump. Before that, I worked as a designer at CLEAR, Spotify, Facebook and The Knot, as well as two fast growing healthcare-tech startups, Blink Health and ZOOM+Care.

Want to talk design (or code or music or college football or DIY projects) or need some help dreaming up experiences humans will love? Drop me a line.
