About

This portfolio site is a curated selection of my graphic design and art direction work from the last decade.  

I am an editorial designer, art director and creative project manager with 10+ years working in media. Currently, I work as an art director at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health where I support the communication design needs for the School and lead the visual design for online and print publications. These include, but are not limited to, newsletters, promotional materials, event collaterial and websites. 

I have also had the pleasure of working for museums, design firms, start-ups, and B2B companies. I have created brand systems, crafted event identities, and designed numerous professional reports, and even the occasional book cover. 

At the core of my work is communication. I believe that color, imagery, pattern, and scale all convey meaning before a single word is read. My process is shaped by a blend of curiosity and pragmatism, allowing space for thoughtful research, creative experimentation, and the occasional touch of playfulness.

When I'm away from the computer, you'll find me listening to audiobooks, training for 10Ks, planning my next trip, and relearning Spanish after a 20-year break. I'm also deeply passionate about transportation advocacy, sustainability, and women's rights. Currently, I am pursuing a Master’s in Museum Studies at Harvard Extension School, with an expected graduation in December 2026.
