I’m a multidisciplinary Senior Designer who’s both creative and strategic.

I value craft, have an elevated aesthetic, and care about details and consistency across visual systems. It also means that I know that design is not superficial—Design is the bridge between information and understanding. Good design is deeply strategic. I'm a powerhouse individual contributor, and I have 4+ years managing/mentoring junior Designers.

​

I use design in my role at SYPartners—a premiere transformation consultancy—to inspire individual epiphanies and collective transformation. I’m part of teams that work directly with CEOs, CMOs, and CPOs at Fortune 100 global companies and high-growth startups that have recently IPO’ed. I’ve worked for over twenty five clients, including BlackRock, CoreWeave, CVS, General Catalyst, Mars Inc., Olaplex, Starbucks, and Upwork.

​

As a consultant, I’ve developed a muscle for being extremely versatile—I can jump into a range of client moments, subject matters, team compositions, and create a path forward. 


I'll always be a New Yorker, but I now call Portland, OR home.

I would love to showcase my client work here, but it's all highly sensitive and protected under NDAs.
