I’m a multi-disciplinary designer based in Brooklyn, NY.
I recieved a BA in Graphic Design from Portland State University, where I focused on typography and tangible design artifacts like posters and booklets. There I became a graphic designer, enamored with what can happen when you are given little bounds, access to a risograph, and a vibrant, creative community.
Today, I’m an influential senior designer on a team at Instrument dedicated to Google and other Alphabet relationships. For over 4 years I’ve carried a passion for print into many digital spaces, applying my deep understanding of design fundamentals to imagine functional, yet beautiful, solutions on the web. Though I don’t want to call myself a web or product designer, here I’ve developed great dexerity in thinking technically and strategically while solutioning. Each project has lent opportunities to sharpen these skills and take a holistic approach to systems but—my pursuit for a beautiful handoff file remains paramount.
As paradoxical as it may seem, the more I work with products, the more interested I am in stepping away from technology. One day I hope to focus on creating physical outputs (to touch, to feel) that might result in deeper wonder and reflection—counteracting our world of digitalisation.
