Always looking forward, driven by ideas, obsessed that a kid who loved to draw still gets to sketch out how we might actually pull off something really cool for a brand. I thrive at the intersection of creativity and real world problems, read the NYT Style section first (for the love stories) and could spend all day finding just the right balance in a layout.

As a designer, I love that we can cook up an experience, or change a color, and have a positive impact on the performance of a company. I think in systems - knowing how one decision might play out across the entire identity or could improve a process. I thrive collaborating with people who think differently than me, knowing that a new perspective will ultimately make the work better.

I could also spend all day in an antique rug store, will always pull over to try a taco stand that has a line, and think a chilled red can be paired with just about anything.
