Hello
Visual designer with agency and in-house experience. Brings sharp skills, strong relationship building, and a proven ability to bring complex ideas to life – quickly and cleanly. Experienced across events, branding, print production, and digital design, with a particular strength in building systems that scale under pressure. Known for clarity, follow-through, and collaborative ease. Thinks strategically, designs thoughtfully, and delivers work that looks good and works hard.
Outside of work, my curiosity shows up everywhere. I’m drawn to visual storytelling in all forms—classic films (especially at Chicago’s Music Box Theatre), television and books. I enjoy designing games and thinking through structure, rules, and participation, and I spend my free time leading architectural tours around Chicago, studying how people move through and experience space.
I have a soft spot and reverence for the color purple, a nod to my grandmother Regina—whose name means Queen—and to the influence she’s had on how I see the world. In late summer, my family and I preserve massive amounts of produce, it’s an annual ritual that’s equal parts tradition, collaboration and controlled chaos. Speaking of controlled chaos, family game night and sandwich making are at top of my list. All of it feeds how I approach design: observant, systems-minded, and always tuned in to how people celebrate and engage with the world around them.

I’m deeply interested in how people experience spaces and stories. I spend a lot of time watching classic films, studying architecture, and giving informal architecture tours around Chicago. I also enjoy designing games—thinking through rules, structure, and participation. All of it feeds how I approach design: as something immersive, intentional, and built around how people move through information.

Between 2020–2022, I designed a wide range of virtual event environments. It was an opportunity to hone a new skill, a new horizon, and it felt like the wild wild west of design experience.
When a Fortune 500 pharmaceutical client agreed to push beyond the expected, we created an immersive island-based experience, complete with treasure maps, themed meeting spaces, and a submarine help desk. One C-suite executive requested his face on an eagle flying overhead, which required translating a very specific (and very bold) vision into something polished and cohesive.
It was a great exercise in balancing creativity, technical execution, and stakeholder expectations—and a reminder that good design often starts in ambiguity.

I’m especially proud of large-scale event systems that are delivered under tight timelines. On one project, our team was tasked with designing dozens of assets within a condensed production window, all tied together by a single visual language. The real challenge is rarely speed; it’s about maintaining clarity, hierarchy, accuracy and consistency at scale. The result was a bold, flexible system that held up across every touchpoint and translated seamlessly into a successful on-site installation.
