I'm a graphic designer based in Portland, Oregon, born and raised in San Francisco.
I've been designing at PETA since 2025. For half a decade I was a designer at 3Degrees, a renewable energy consultancy. Previously I was a graphic designer at bkr. In between I've freelanced with clients including a medical school, a New York fine art gallery, and a national youth writing nonprofit. I received my BFA in Communications Design from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY.
I think that a bit of contradiction is essential to good design. Information and embellishment. Print and digital. Illustration and geometry. I also try to infuse a sense of humor into my work whenever possible.
My style is witty, fun, and considered. In the words of Lisa Simpson, "My interests include music, science, justice, animals, shapes, and feelings."
