My Story
Design has always been my language. Growing up in San Francisco, I was surrounded by creativity - from the street art in the Mission to the sleek tech branding of Silicon Valley. I knew early on that I wanted to help businesses tell their stories visually.
After graduating from ArtCenter College of Design, I spent four years at top branding agencies in Los Angeles, working with clients ranging from local startups to Fortune 500 companies. In 2019, I launched my independent practice to focus on what I love most: helping small and mid-sized businesses build brands that truly connect.
Today, I work with founders, entrepreneurs, and creative businesses who understand that great design isn't just about looking good - it's about communicating who you are and building genuine connections with the people you serve.
My Values
What guides me
Thoughtful Design
Every element serves a purpose. I believe in design that communicates clearly and connects emotionally.
Collaboration
The best work comes from true partnership. I work closely with clients to understand their vision deeply.
Attention to Detail
The magic is in the details. From kerning to color harmony, nothing escapes my eye.
Lasting Impact
I create brands built to endure. Timeless design that grows with your business.
My Process
How I work

We start with a deep conversation. I learn about your business, your audience, your dreams, and what makes you different.
Strategy
Together, we define the direction. I develop a creative strategy that aligns your brand with your business goals.
Design
This is where ideas become visual. I explore, iterate, and refine until we land on something that feels right.

Beyond the Screen
When I'm not designing
You'll probably find me exploring LA's incredible food scene, hiking in Griffith Park, or browsing the stacks at The Last Bookstore.
I'm a firm believer that good design comes from living a full life. Travel, art museums, great meals, good conversations - it all feeds the creative process.
I also volunteer teaching design fundamentals to high school students through LA's Arts District non-profit programs. Helping young creatives find their voice is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.
Ready to work together?
I'd love to hear about your project. Let's create something meaningful together.
