Brooklyn based designer specializing in packaging, publication, and brand identity. My work usually includes vibrant colors, dynamic typography, and illustration. I’m currently looking for new opportunities, full-time or freelance. 

I’m a rainbow-haired creative who is playfully unpredictable, a multi-disciplinary, and a print enthusiast. I believe design should spark connection, feel approachable, and leave the world a bit better. My approach to the design process is rooted in play, testing ideas, making small messes, and letting color lead. I co-founded Goopy Girls Creative Collective and I’m the Creative Director of Goopy Mag, an interactive print publication centered around the idea of playing as an adult. I refuel my creative juices by dancing with my friends & making things with my hands.
