Nice to meet you.

I’m a born-and-raised East Coaster with a West Coast soul. After studying Visual Studies and Creative Writing at the University of Pennsylvania, I moved westward to use empathy and creativity to (try to) make people’s lives better, in any small way. Currently, I’m the Head of Design & Creative at Maven Technologies where I lead UI/UX design, branding, and creative marketing.

In my spare time, you’ll find me carving blocks of various materials, caring for my senior dog, and walking quickly/running slowly. I occasionally moonlight as a cardio kickboxing instructor and local shop gal.

​I’m very much a human—not a shoe-horned personal brand—and my life consists of disparate experiences that don’t always make sense. I'll consider myself successful when I wake up feeling excited for the day ahead and when I never have to use LinkedIn ever again in my life. I'm not quite there yet.

I play by a few simple rules:

Embrace child-like wonder.

​I’m not afraid to use imagination and a beginner’s mind to discover new approaches.

Choose empathy, always.

I value listening and understanding as a way to build connection in my work.​

Create with intention.

I will not add to the noise. I will produce quality work that helps people be happier and healthier.

Tell truthful stories.

I will represent narratives with transparency rather than use data to manipulate others.

Be a force for good.

In whatever I do, I wish to be a motivating force—one that will empower real, positive change.

please respect your creative pals, okay?

( yes, the work can be fun. no, I would not like to “make a quick logo” for free. )
