HELLO.
I’m a creative visionary, interdisciplinary collaborator, and multi-faceted designer based in Los Angeles.
I’m an experienced Creative Director & Designer with a demonstrated history of working in the internet & media industries. I currently work as a Creative Lead at Snap on their Global Brand Experience team. I also provide creative direction and brand design services for various brands through my freelance business. Previously, I worked as a Senior Brand Designer/Art Director at Airtable focusing on brand design and creative/art direction. Before that, I was on the Creative Studio Team at TikTok focusing on Effect House, live stream programming, and visual design/art direction.
I solve design problems with a mixture of left-brain innovation, right-brain creativity, and a healthy dose of fun. My interdisciplinary skillset includes creative & art direction, creative leadership, branding & identity, experiential design, illustration, UI/UX design, video, and design thinking. I help brands and creative teams elevate their storytelling through innovative design, building and growing visual design systems, and leading/mentoring others in dynamic, fast-paced environments.
