Hi, hello 👋🏻
I’m a visuals expert seeking full-time, remote creative work.
I Won a Webby!
The Atlas Obscura in-house creative team is packed with talented folks doing remarkable work. Their partnership with Visit Maine was recently awarded a Webby.
And DIGIDAY Content Marketing Awards!
The ‘This is How Maine Sounds’ campaign won recognition, but so did our collaboration with Blue Apron and Visit Colorado.
My Specialities
-
01 CREATIVE STRATEGY
The core of my creative practice is clarifying the intersection of business goals with audience or user needs. A deep understanding of design fundamentals and current trends lays a foundation for research, experimentation, testing, and refinement.
-
02 GRAPHIC DESIGN
Hands-on work, be it sketching iconographic concepts by hand or applying brand principles to marketing images needed, um yesterday, keeps me energized and excited at work. I work magic in Photoshop but don’t turn my nose up at Canva when quick-edit templates are needed.
-
03 VISUALS EDITING
Art direction, curation, and illustration.
About me
I am an artist and storyteller at heart. I love to mix digital and analog in my practice, a habit formed when learning darkroom photography and digital editing back in high school.
I am attracted to bold, maximalist design, but find good taste is often a matter of finding a smart way to turn the volume down without losing expressive soul.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me out exploring the city with my family, or in the kitchen cooking up something new.
Let’s go Mets!

What I am looking for
At ten years into my creative career, I have put a lot of thought into what type of work fulfills me.
I thrive in an environment where I can ask a lot of questions and have the space to explore ideas. I work mostly independently, but love to gather insights from colleagues and incorporate feedback into revisions.
I want to understand the bigger picture, and transparency is very important to me. I don’t care much about titles, but a role where I can both learn and teach would suit me well.
I work remotely because it has given me the best work-life balance, and the ability to focus on work uninterrupted. That said, I live in Queens and would be happy to commute to an office from time to time.
You can find my resume here.
