Senior Brand & Graphic Designer with 9+ years of international experience designing by hand and on screen, for brands that want to feel human.

Trained in Boston and Los Angeles, it was London that launched my career; from cultural institutions and global startups to independent studios. A chapter in Austin followed, where I continued my practice while growing my family. Now, I'm back where it all began, bringing with me a richer perspective and the same considered craft.

BRANDING • PRINT • ILLUSTRATION

MARKETING • PHOTO • VIDEO • EVENTS DESIGN β€‹

Outside of work, I balance the quiet, therapeutic process of wheel-throwing pottery and illustrating with the decidedly less quiet reality of family life. 🏺🎨🀸🏻‍♀️
