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

I believe design is the bridge between information and understanding—an essential tool for translating complex concepts into things that delight and compel people. 
 
I use design in my role at SYPartners to inspire individual epiphanies and collective transformation.
​
I'm a New Yorker but now call Portland, OR home.

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