About
I love what I do, and that's helping people like you make an impact on the world through visual storytelling.
My 9-5 is spent at a top brand consultancy, collaborating with strategists and researchers, thinking creatively to bring visions to life, and designing with user-centeredness in mind.
After hours? You can find me in my favorite overalls, glass of wine and paint brush in hand, creating abstract art pieces through the practice of intuitive painting. Using traditional mediums–acrylic on canvas—I allow my brush to roam without conscious reasoning. Art is my passion, and it deeply inspires my day-to-day designing.
