I am a versatile and strategic brand designer and art director with a quick grasp of concepts
and an eye for innovation.
My work spans a wide range of clients, from energetic start-ups and idealistic non-profits to large corporations. My objective is to leverage my experience and creativity to frame and achieve my clients' goals.
As an independent freelancer, I am adept at managing multiple projects and maintaining long-term client relationships. I have served as interim Creative Director for both Foreign Policy Magazine and the Center for Reproductive Rights. Before transitioning to freelance work, I was an Art Director at a design firm serving clients such as Honeywell, Bank of New York, and BlackRock.
Most recently, I worked as a Senior Designer for Earnest Agency, a London-based design and marketing firm, where I led design at their new New York office, and designed for clients like FUJI.
I hold a master's degree from Pratt Institute's Communication Design graduate program, a Certificate in Web Production from NYU, and a B.A. from Vassar College.
In addition to design, I am an illustrator and editorial cartoonist, having once received a Press Association prize for my work.
