About
I have spent the last twelve years working in magazines, design firms, museums and higher education. I also regularly freelance for an array of clients, primarily designing reports and books. Currently, I am the Art Director and Design Lead at Harvard Public Health magazine and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, where I lead the visual design for the online publication and support the communication design needs for the School.
I choose to be a designer and art director because I am drawn to the way that color, image, pattern and other visual media communicate meaning before one reads a single word. My infinite curiosity combined with my pragmatic tendencies guide my process, which allows for research, experimentation and play. I produce my best work when collaborating with other creative minds and critical thinkers.
Speaking of infinite curiosity, I recently completed a certificate in Museum Studies. Museums have always fascinated me as places of wonder and knowledge with their curated beauty and intriguing collections. My coursework covered museum origins, exhibition design, industry challenges, and informal learning techniques. I plan to continue my studies by pursuing a Master’s degree. I see the natural evolution from graphic design on the page and screen to exhibitions and museum spaces. Both are platforms for visual communication and audience engagement.
When not at a computer screen or in a classroom, I enjoy listening to audiobooks, training for 10ks and half marathons, planning a trip or two, and relearning Spanish after a 20-year hiatus. I am also passionate about transportation advocacy, sustainability, and women’s rights.
