About

I’m a creative director and design leader who builds teams and brands that create meaningful change. Over the past 12+ years, I’ve led design for organizations working toward a more kind, just, and sustainable world from local grassroots nonprofits to food startups, international NGOs, and even a historic presidential campaign. I lead with a sharp creative eye and collaborative approach to deliver work that resonates, scales, and supports long-term goals.

Beyond individual projects, I focus on building teams and systems that enable excellent work. I've managed and mentored creative teams and created processes that measurably improve both efficiency and quality. I believe work succeeds when people succeed, which means creating environments where teams can do their best work through clear systems, kind feedback, and mutual trust and respect.

I care deeply about the strategic thinking that makes design effective: seeing connections others miss, identifying opportunities that create additional value for clients, and building frameworks that help teams make better decisions. I maintain high creative standards while also ensuring the work comes to life.

I’m also really, really good at finding four leaf clovers.

Values

People matter more.

Work succeeds when people do. I build environments where teams can grow and do their best work.

Make it clear.

I distill complex situations into clear next steps and help teams align on what matters most.

Be a mensch.

I prioritize integrity in how we communicate, collaborate, and show up for each other.

Recognize glue work.

The effort that holds teams together—mentoring, translating, following through—often goes unseen. I prioritize it in my practice and recognize it in others.
