At any team I join, I bring my diverse and multidisciplinary design experience to the table
I aim to create thoughtful experiences, integrating clear messaging with creative storytelling. Notable clients and projects I have worked on include: Verizon, Toys’R’Us, McCann Echo, Citizen, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, and Wolters Kluwer.
about me
I am a graduate of Rutgers University, where I earned my BFA in Visual Arts. I concentrated in graphic design with a mixture of print and digital.
During this time, I centered my senior thesis gallery show on the concept of nature in artificial spaces, combining sculpture, silk screening, and film photography.
Throughout school, I worked as a freelance production and graphic designer, including a job for NY House Senate & local council election campaigns.
Since graduating, I have narrowed my focus on web and visual design. While I first worked on a blend of print and digital, I now focus on user interface design. I live in New Jersey with my husband and two cats, Milly and Goose (and around 50+ shrimp). On my spare time, I engage in all things artsy: crochet, cooking, baking, aquascaping (aquarium), drawing, painting, and tending to my many plants.

My personal work focuses on portrait illustration. I employ a variety of styles and techniques. I usually start by sketching on my phone with a stylus, then I refine on the desktop in illustrator or will continue to refine via phone sketching apps.
