Hello and welcome to my portfolio! Thank you for taking a look at my work. Below is a little bit about me, my process and why I love design.

In 2018 I received my BFA in Design from the Maine College of Art & Design, Portland, ME. I’ve been fortunate to work and collaborate in multiple creative settings from branding studios and advertising agencies to a behavior change/UX agency. I’m also available for freelance work.

As a designer, I have always been interested in how and why people choose to interact with the things they are drawn to in their daily lives: brands, products, services, and systems. It fascinates me to see how psychology plays one of the biggest roles in the design of everything we interact with as humans – and more importantly, each other. I’m a firm believer that design is a form of language that often speaks the loudest, which is why it is important to design with a sense of responsibility. When tackling a project, I often harken back to the basics — reflecting back on the history of design to help make better-informed decisions in my work is a huge part of the process… I believe you should understand the rules first before coming up with clever ways to break them. Reflecting back and being inspired by the “greats” of our time is always a surefire way to help me overcome design hurdles.

When I’m not working I enjoy quality time with friends and family. We love playing cribbage, taking our dogs on walks — bonus points if it’s a beach walk — and having friends over for grilling and fires. I also enjoy art and hand-lettering — I’m a huge typography fanatic. You might find me selling artwork at local craft and artisan fairs around the seacoast.

Thank you again for taking the time. I hope we can collaborate/work together someday!
