I earned degrees in both graphic design and advertising, with a minor in psychology, which gave me an unusual perspective: I could talk to art directors, marketing gurus, and PR reps in the same language. That's been the throughline of everything since — the balance of form and function, creativity and strategy. That balance lies at the heart of good graphic design.
I've worked with fashion labels, political nonprofits, startups, and agencies. What stays consistent is the approach: start with the idea, let the execution follow. Never decorate a bad concept.
When I'm not designing, I'm usually checking out a local exhibit, reading the classics, or hunting for inspiration at vintage shops and estate sales.
