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 15+ years of professional experience. Currently, I work as an art director and senior graphic designer 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 newsletters, promotional materials, event collaterial and websites. 

I have had the pleasure of working for museums, design firms, start-ups, and B2B companies. I have created brand systems, crafted event identities, designed numerous professional reports, and even produced 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 a touch of playfulness.

When I'm away from the computer, you'll find me listening to audiobooks, training for 10Ks, or planning my next trip. I'm deeply passionate about transportation advocacy, sustainability, and women's rights. Currently, I am pursuing a Master’s Degree in Museum Studies at the Harvard Extension School with an expected graduation in May 2027.
