Designer. Photographer. Nature Lover.

I’m an Art director based in Chicago with 10 years’ experience in the design industry. I specialize in brand identity, campaign direction, and visual systems for print and digital.

Blending strategy with clean, purposeful design to clarify messages and improve user experience, I am a multidisciplinary creative with a diverse background and a knack for quickly learning new skills.

I am passionate about equality and empowerment for everyone, and using my skills to help people reach their goals is what I strive for.

I have been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for almost a decade and being a purple belt and a higher ranking member at my academy, it is my job to mentor and be a role model for those new to the sport seeking guidance. I also teach a women’s only class where I strive to create an environment for women entering the martial arts world can feel safe and confident from the moment they set foot on the mats.

When I’m not busy with my Art Director job at Radancy, I can be found at my local bird sanctuary, hanging out at the lake, zooming around at the hockey rink or at my jiu jitsu gym twisting people into human pretzels.
