I’m a creative wearing a business hat who thrives on sorting through the details. Using my years of experience in the arts, education, and business, I work as a freelance consultant who joins thoughtful design with engaging storytelling to shape a brand’s identity. As a web designer and writer, I partner with creatives, independent businesses, and nonprofits to strengthen how their work is presented to the world. My goal is to propel each brand forward through a fantastic one-of-a-kind web presence geared towards audience building.

I have experience growing businesses in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Virginia, have worked as a collegiate arts professor, and have assisted professional artists in their studios. I’ve tackled many creative roles, and am thrilled to use my background to support clients through a collaborative experience. Whether it's amplifying an artist's career or getting a new business off the ground, I can help bring your vision to life through intentional messaging and strategic design.

I grew up in the Midwest and Hong Kong, and currently live a transitory life between the US and Europe. I received an MFA in Painting & Printmaking from Virginia Commonwealth University and a BFA in Art & Design from the University of Michigan. In my personal artistic endeavors, I celebrate joy and analyze the aesthetics of leisure through painting, photography, and writing.

Please get in touch if you’d like to work together. Also feel free to reach out if you have a great gazpacho recipe, want to chat about the latest Bachelor franchise drama, or extoll the joys of dolce far niente.
